Aluminium in Infant and Childhood Vaccines
23rd October 2023 (updated Nov 23)
Like lead and mercury, aluminium is a recognised neurotoxin: cumulative, inessential and immuno-inflammatory [1]. The HEART Party is concerned about the injurious nature of some vaccine components e.g. Aluminium salts.
The table below shows how much aluminium is injected during just the first six months of the National Immunisation Program Schedule. The “TISSUE EXPOSURE TO ALUMINIUM – From Vaccines” box shows minimum (min), and maximum (max) amounts to allow for a choice between alternative vaccines, eg Vaxelis or Infranrix Hexa, and the inclusion of Bexsero vaccine in the South Australia (SA) schedule and in the National Immunisation Program schedule for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
NOTES:
- Breastmilk: Al absorbed per Litre: {4},{5},{6} 0.1% x 25µg/L = 0.025µg/L. Total estimated Al absorption between 2 and 4 months of age at 800mls of milk p/day: (61 x 0.8 x 0.025) = 1.22µg
- Tissue Exposure from vaccines by 6 months:
- Minimum: 1,457µg of Al (383 times the estimated Al absorption from Breast Milk).
- Maximum: 4,585µg of Al (1,207 times the estimated Al absorption from Breast Milk).
-
Vaccine aluminium, though slowly absorbed from injection site, accumulates throughout the body more readily than aluminium absorbed from food [1]. Neonates and young infants have an increased susceptibility to toxins and toxicants {7}. Aluminium intake from just ONE injection of Infanrix hexa may be about the same as a baby breast feeding for 90 years. 820 ÷ (365 x 0.025).
-
Additional aluminium containing vaccines are scheduled for the rest of infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age [2]. More still are scheduled for many young indigenes [2]. Other vaccines containing aluminium are often among vaccines “required” for overseas travel or otherwise promoted [8].
