MERCURY-FREE VACCINE ACT

Summary
Creates the Mercury-Free Vaccine Act. Provides that a person who is knowingly pregnant or who is under 3 years of age shall not be vaccinated with a mercury-containing vaccine or injected with a mercury-containing product that contains more than 0.5 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 milliliter dose. Provides that a person who is knowingly pregnant or who is under 3 years of age shall not be vaccinated with a mercury-containing influenza vaccine that contains more than 1.0 microgram of mercury per 0.5 milliliter dose. Provides an exemption for the use of mercury-containing vaccines if the Department of Public Health finds that an actual or potential bio-terrorist incident or other actual or potential public health emergency, including an epidemic or shortage of supply of a vaccine that would prevent children under 3 years of age and knowingly pregnant women from receiving the needed vaccine, makes necessary the administration of a vaccine containing more mercury than the maximum level.
