Does anyone know a lot about vaccinations?

I am going round in circles trying to decide whether to give my dds the swine flu jab. They've had all the usual vaccinations, as I'm basically in favour of them, but I have a few specific questions about the swine flu one.

I have read that there is concern over the presence of mercury in the vaccination. Does anybody know whether there is mercury in any other young children's vaccinations? I am trying to find a way to decide whether this is a concern.

And the adjuvant, squalene - is this something that would normally be given to young children in other jabs?

And finally does anybody know the difference between the testing that has been done on this vaccination and other longer-established ones?

If there's anyone out there with this information I would be very grateful. Thanks...

Hi
There is a vaccinations secition if you look under health, and there is actually a swine flu one too.
I think you will find loads of threads re the vaccine there
