Is thimerosal safe when used as a preservative in vaccines?

The CDC prioritizes security, surveillance and vaccine research. The CDC knows of the presence of the preservative thimerosal in vaccines and suggestions of a link to autism that pose a concern. These concerns make decisions about vaccinations confusing and difficult for some people, especially parents. Numerous studies have found no association between thimerosal exposure and autism.

Since 2001, no vaccine approved by the FDA for use in children has contained thimerosal as a preservative and all vaccines routinely recommended by the CDC for children under six years do not contain thimerosal or contain only trace amounts, except in some vaccine formulas influenza. Unfortunately, there have been no reductions in the number of children with autism, suggesting that the cause of autism is not related to a single exposure and thimerosal.

federal government is committed to ensuring the safety of vaccines. This is achieved by monitoring the FDA’s rigorous pre-licensing and monitoring once granted the license from the CDC and FDA. This commitment stems from our scientific and medical dedication, it is also personal, because most of us are parents and grandparents. We also greatly value the health and safety of children.
