Thanks for the list... I get the seasonal flu shot each year. I never knew what is in each one (that is in additives.) I have had bad reactions to flu shot in the past. I did read the list of companies on the wiki site. I see a particular shot for the US:

Sanofi

The following information about ingredients in the H1N1 2009 vaccine made by Sanofi-Aventis SA, based in Paris was found in the package insert:

"The virus-containing allantoic fluid is harvested and inactivated with formaldehyde. The virus is then chemically disrupted using a non-ionic surfactant, polyethylene glycol p-isooctylphenyl ether (Triton® X-100), producing a "split virus". The split virus is further purified and then suspended in sodium phosphate-buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution.

Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine is formulated to contain 15 mcg hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) v-like virus per 0.5 mL dose. Gelatin 0.05% is added as a stabilizer. Each 0.5 mL dose may contain residual amounts of formaldehyde (not more than 100 mcg), polyethylene glycol p-isooctylphenyl ether (not more than 0.02%), and sucrose (not more than 2.0%).

There is no thimerosal used in the manufacturing process of the single-dose presentations of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine. The multi-dose presentation of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine contains thimerosal, a mercury derivative, added as a preservative. Each 0.5 mL dose of the multidose presentation contains 25 mcg mercury.

Antibiotics are not used in the manufacture of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine."

I wonder if this company makes its seasonal flu shots the same way.... I get bad rashes from formaldehyde, and I get breathing issues from any product that has Ether Glycols in it. I have to check all beauty products from toothpastes to shampoos and cosmetics...and etc.

Could this have been the reason that some years I have rashes and breathing problems following flu shots?
