Lederle Laboratories, 1-800-934-5556. Produced using three types of attenuated polioviruses, streptomycin, neomycin, calf serum, and sorbitol. Medium: monkey kidney cell culture. Rabies Vaccine Adsorbed SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, 1-800-366-8900, extension 5231.

Medium: human diploid cells (originating from human aborted fetal tissue). * Warning: Thimerosal is a chemical compound that contains 49.6 percent mercury as a preservative. Mercury is one of the most dangerous toxins known to scientists. This is 100 times the exposure that the Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center guidelines consider safe for the average-sized infant, as mercury is known to cause neurotoxicity and brain damage that mirrors the symptoms of autism.

This is def. not a current compilation anymore. The thimerosal in many of the vaccines listed has been replaced by other preservatives. Better? Safer? Right... :-) Gabriela <A HREF= " http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems & userid=unikus & \ include=0 & since=-1 & sort=3 & rows=25 " > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
