Pediatricians Recommend Keeping Thimerosal In Vaccines

A mercury-containing preservative known as thimerosal, occasionally used in the United States, should not be eliminated as an ingredient in vaccines, according to a disputable American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) announcement that came yesterday and was published in the journal Pediatrics.

In their statement, the AAP backed recommendations from a World Health Organization (WHO) committee stating that the preservative thimerosal should not be named as a harmful source of mercury and should not be forbidden by the United Nations.
