Making of them

Footnotes
† Formaldehyde is diluted during the vaccine manufacturing process, but residual quantities of formaldehyde may be found in some current vaccines. The amount of formaldehyde present in some vaccines is so small compared to the concentration that occurs naturally in the body that it does not pose a safety concern.

^ Because influenza and yellow fever vaccines are both made in eggs, egg proteins are present in the final products. For people with egg allergies, there are now two new flu vaccines available. People with severe egg allergies should be vaccinated in a medical setting and be supervised by a health care professional who can recognize and manage severe allergic conditions.

* Thimerosal contains a different form of mercury (ethylmercury) than the kind that causes mercury poisoning (methylmercury). Ethylmercury is safe to use in vaccines because it’s processed differently in the body and is less likely to build up in the body—and because it’s used in tiny amounts. Even so, most vaccines do not have any thimerosal in them. Learn more about thimerosal, mercury, and vaccine safety.
