The really sad thing is that there may be vaccines available without mercury.
Clif High mentioned in a podcast he had to drive hours to find a mercury free shot for his dog. I had to get rabies for my chihuahua. I'm in L.A. and it's in some creatures around here. She doesn't get any other shots because I pick her up when near other dogs. We're not out there to socialize. TF-3 is thimerisol free, meaning there is no mercury adjuvent. It's a little more money than the regular shot but so what. It lasts 3 years and is just a killed rabies part in DI water. One dose per vial. The regular shot is in bigger vials for multiple customers, using mercury to prevent the solution from deteriorating I guess. Most cutomers aren''t aware of this. It didn't cross my mind until I heard Cliff.
Without getting into the whole vax or no vax debate, I'd bet that some childhood vaccines can be found without mercury, but parents may not be told about the options.

No childhood vaccines contain thimerosal (mercury) anymore. They’re not any safer, though, and that’s apparent to those of us who question things.
