Does anyone know if the polio vaccine contains mercury. I may have to have one for work.

I don't know about that one in particluar, but I know that it often depends on the manufacturer. You can call the clinic/doctor or stop by and ask if it contains thimerasol, because that is the mercury ingredient. I outright ask to see the pamphlet they have on ingredients, contraindications, warnings, etc and it should say on there whether or not it contains thimerasol.

I would also ask to see the bottle because many Doctors have been told to say that vaccines don't contain Thimerosal anymore but some do.
I have a copy of an award-winning news story about Thimerosal that makes that very point from a real-life example.
