, Truly, I am not trying to drive you crazy, but you need to be more specific when asking for this sort of info, because there are a number of similar vaccines out there, and it usually requires more specific info to find out what is/was in any particular vaccine.

I found what I was looking for here http://nvic.org/excipients.htm Apparently, the preservative in a multi-does polio (Ipol) vial appears to be formaldehyde. Sorry about the confusion! Thanks,
