Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mercury in Vaccines and Autism - The Burden of Proof May Shift " Prior to the FDA's intervention in 1999, children would receive up to 187.5 micrograms of mercury in the first 6 months if the recommended schedule of vaccinations was followed by parents. Now that figure is reduced to less than 3 micrograms. If you add the mercury from a thimerosal-containing influenza vaccine, that number only increases to 28 micrograms of mercury. This level of mercury exposure is well below the 65 microgram limit (for methyl mercury) set by the Environmental Protection Agency for a child during the first 6 months of life.
