Harmful Preservative Banned in Kids Vaccines

Thimerosal, a preservative containing mercury is now largely off-limits to children younger than 3 and pregnant women in California. This new law aims to reduce the risk of neurological problems like autism, which many parents believe can be linked to Thimerosal.

The only exception to the new state law, which took effect on Saturday, is the vaccine against Japanese encephalitis virus, a deadly mosquito-borne illness endemic to certain parts of Asia.
