Excipients Included in U.S. Vaccines In 2009

These are the Excipients (ingredients) that are listed directly from the CDC’s website which is sourced below.  I wrote previously on what each FLU vaccine had in them, now here is the list of all of the vaccines for the US.  I will be editing this and adding the amounts of each ingredient as I find them, and also adding ingredients that are missing if I happen to find any.  I will include the product link to the manufacturers website and a link to the datasheet.  I like the fact (not really) that the child vaccines are marketed to look cute while they contain toxic ingredients, even more so for children.

*Where “thimerosal” is marked with an asterisk (*) it indicates that the product should be considered equivalent to

thimerosal-free products. This vaccine may contain trace amounts (<0.3 mcg) of mercury left after post-production

thimerosal removal, but these amounts have no biological effect.
