“US CDC panel recommends flu shots free from thimerosal”
Mercury-free flu shots are now officially recommended for all adults in the United States, following a vote by the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel. In a 5–1 decision—with one abstention—the panel urged that all flu vaccinations be administered in single-dose, mercury-free flu shot forms that do not contain the preservative thimerosal.
The recommendation extends to pregnant women and children aged six months or younger, reflecting growing public concern about exposure to mercury-based additives. The vote came after a presentation by Lyn Redwood, a prominent vaccine safety advocate, who warned about thimerosal’s potential neurotoxic effects.
Thimerosal, which contains ethylmercury, has been nearly eliminated from childhood vaccines in the U.S. since 2001. It is still used in some multi-dose flu vials as a preservative. Despite this, CDC and FDA maintain there is no evidence that the small amounts of thimerosal used in vaccines cause harm, aside from minor injection-site reactions.
Supporters of the recommendation say moving toward mercury-free flu shots aligns with a broader precautionary approach and addresses consumer demand for cleaner vaccine options. Critics, however, worry the decision may increase costs or complicate access, especially in rural or low-income areas where multi-dose vials are more commonly used.
The vote follows a series of changes to CDC advisory structures introduced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long expressed concerns about vaccine ingredients like thimerosal. While the CDC director must still formally adopt the recommendation, the move signals a potential nationwide shift toward preservative-free immunization practices.
