Thimerosal!?
Aluminum!?
Formaldehyde!?
Polyethylene glycol!?
There’s lots of misinformation about these vaccine ingredients, so let’s spend some time finding out what’s safe and what’s not. 👇🏿

Thimerosal?
It’s a form of mercury that stops microbes from growing in some vaccines. 🛑
It hasn’t been used in routine kids’ vaccines in Canada since 2001, but is in some flu shots.
The mercury dose is less than a can of tuna! 🐟

Aluminum?
It’s an “adjuvant” that helps the body mount a stronger response.
The amounts in vaccines are *tiny.*
A child will get more aluminum from baby formula or nursing than vaccines in the first 6mo of life.

HPV is no joke.
There are 3 approved vaccines in Canada that prevent it.
Let’s talk about it ⬇️

HPV = Human Papillomavirus.
It’s the most common sexually transmitted viral infection worldwide (1).
It’s estimated 75% of sexually active unvaccinated Canadians will get it at some point (2).

You don’t even need to have sex to get HPV. It can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact (3).

When it comes to routine vaccines, stick to the schedule. It’s better that way. 📅
Wondering if, by spacing out your kids’ vaccines, you can save some tears?

The routine immunization schedule here in Canada was developed for a reason: to provide optimal protection from vaccine-preventable diseases (1).
And with vaccines, timing is everything (2).

Here are a few understandable (but unfounded!) reasons you might think about spacing out vaccines:
- Will a baby’s immune system get “overloaded” by too many vaccines all at once?
- Will getting multiple vaccines at once hurt too much?
