Vaccine Ingredients

[danalyn]

Where can I see a list of ingredients for each individual vaccine? In the last couple of weeks I've gotten the vaccine inserts from local clinics, but I have to admit, lots of it looks like greek to me. Thanks for any info.....

http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVac.../ucm093833.htm The ingredients are listed in the "Description" section in each package insert. The Description section is either on the first page or in section 11, depending on the format of the package insert.

Some ingredients are not listed, such as PCV1 in Rotarix and PCV1 and PCV2 in RotaTeq. (These are pig viruses. PCV2 causes a fatal disease in baby pigs).

Try this....it's a bit easier than looking at all the inserts. This table doesn't tell you amounts however.

Although I do think you should always read any insert completely before vaxing with a specific vax.
