Iatrogenic exposure to mercury after hepatitis B vaccination in preterm infants. Stajich GV, Lopez GP, Harry SW, Sexson WR. J Pediatr (2000) May; 136(5):679-81 (10802503) Thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, is used as a preservative in hepatitis B vaccines. We measured total mercury levels before and after the administration of this vaccine in 15 preterm and 5 term infants. Comparison of pre- and post-vaccination mercury levels showed a significant increase in both preterm and term infants after vaccination. Additionally, post-vaccination mercury levels were significantly higher in preterm infants as compared with term infants. Because mercury is known to be a potential neurotoxin to infants, further study of its pharmacodynamics is warranted.

Links to Articles, News Releases from Governmental Agencies and Other Websites Regarding the Safety and Use of Thimerosal Disclaimer All of the original research shown on this web page was wholly funded by ALT, Inc. The purpose of this web page is to educate persons in the health care community and the public at large about the potential dangers resulting from exposure to thimerosal containing compounds and substances. ALT, Inc. does not and has not profited in any way from this research nor does the company offer any goods or services which can be used to detect or monitor for toxicity resulting from exposure to thimerosal. We at ALT, Inc. believe very strongly in eliminating all unnecessary and avoidable forms of exposure to mercury and mercury containing compounds. This includes thimerosal in vaccines and mercury in dental " silver " amalgam fillings. This is especially true of infants, small children, pregnant women and women of child bearing age who are more susceptible to the toxic effects of mercury. Individuals wishing to express their concerns regarding the use and/or dangers of thimerosal should contact the following individuals: CDC National Immunization Program Dr. Walter Orenstein, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Immunization Program National Immunization Information Hotline: 1-800-232-2522 Dr. Robert Snyder E-mail: ros Telephone: 404-639-8222 U.S. Food and Drug Administration Dr. Kathryn Zoon, of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. L.
