Re: Re: Pediatrix - new multiple vaccine

[Guest guest]

Isn't the vaccine under discussion here called "Pediarix", not Pediatix or Pediatrix? Approval info and package insert can be found here: http://www.fda.gov/cber/products/pediarix.htm . It would be interesting to read if this vaccine does contain thimerosal (and tungsten), because it is supposedly manufactured without the use of thimerosal. Ana, do you have another link for this info? I can't get the link below to work either.

I don't know what these measures mean in terms of micrograms, but 1117.00 uGm of aluminum sounds really bad. Also, it seems that Ennergix by kline has *lead* in it. >> While sitting in my doctors office reading a parenting magazine I> come across a blurb about this great new vaccine "Pediatix" that> combines 5 vaccines in one so that children end up getting 9 instead of > 15 shots??, not sure what the means exactly (thats all it said)> >> > So I look it up today on google, New Pediatric Combination
