6-35 mo kids' vaccine in DC: please clarify

[Anonymous]

My understanding from the Dr Sears site is that the ONLY no (or even low) mercury shot available for children under 4 years of age is the Sanofi Pasteur prefilled single 1/2 dose syringe. Novartis 1-mcg shot is for children age 4 years or older.

What are they giving toddlers/infants in DC, the 1/2 dose Sanofi Pasteur from the multidose bottle with 25 mcg of mercury?

What are they giving to pregnant women, the Novartis single shot?

I'm looking especially for feedback from those who have gotten the shots.

For kids over 2 you can do the flu mist which has no mercury.

And the DC clinics are giving the Novartis one dose shot to all pregnant women, be sure to ask for it but the automatically got it for me when they saw on my form I was pregnant. That has some of the preservatives but at a lower dose than the regular ones.

So if kids are under 2, they get the most mercury in DC.

I am PG and had to ask for the Novartis shot- my person was not going to give it to me automatically so ask for what you want
