But you'll probably have a hard time finding a mercury-free shot. The majority of the doses manufactured (about 80%?) come in the multi-dose vials containing 25 mcg of mercury per dose. Also, all the vaccine package inserts say the same thing, with the different brand names inserted: "Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine or Fluzone vaccine. It is also not known whether these vaccines can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity." http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM182404.pdf (page 10) So if the vaccine manufacturers don't know if the vaccines can cause fetal harm, I'm not sure why you'd be willing to take the risk.<br><b>References : </b><br> I don’t see why not.
