ANyone considering getting this vaccine needs to do some research. The scientists who developed it aren't even taking it. It is BAD FOR YOU!!!! Unless of course, you like mercury poisoning.

Monica R. is misinformed. These vaccines are very different from injected vaccines which USED to contain mercury. Not getting your child vaccinated is VERY dangerous.
