Hi Tia,

What happens if you don't take the shot? Will you still be allowed to travel to Thailand?

When you ask yourdoc about whether Thimerasol is in the Hep A shot, I'd insist on reading the label for yourself. I've heard stories of people who have requested Thimerasol-free vaccines and when they insisted on seeing the labels (even though their docs were adamant about them being Thimerasol-free), lo and behold . . . they had mercury in them.

Here's a link to a website that has alternative names for mercury -- including Thimerasol. It might be useful to know all the different names that companies use for mercury.
