Thimerosal, mercury, is no longer used in most vaccines, flu shots being the chief exception.

In 1999, the Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended the removal of thimerosal from child vaccines. Eight years later, thimerosal (50% mercury) still remains in some childhood vaccines – particularly the flu shot. Over the past two years, the CDC has significantly expanded the pediatric flu vaccine recommendations, significantly increasing the exposure of infants and children to mercury containing vaccines.
