The New York Senate today (June 21st) passed legislation (S.2707-C), sponsored by Senator Dean Skelos (R, Rockville Center) that would prohibit the administration of any vaccine containing more than a trace amount of mercury to children under the age of three or pregnant women.
Thimerosal, which contains a form of mercury, has been used in vaccines for years as a preservative to help prevent life-threatening bacterial contamination. However, vaccine manufacturing technology has advanced in recent years, and it is no longer necessary to add preservatives containing mercury to vaccines.

Important:
Remember to write or call your legislators to oppose Senate Bill 3. Should Senate Bill 3 ever pass as currently written, the bill will overturn all state thimerosal bans in the U.S.
