answered Nov 10, 2009 at 07:02AMThere is no soy in any influenza 2009 H1N1 vaccine. Multi-dose vials of inactivated vaccine contain thimerosal; in addition the Canadian inactivated vaccine contains an adjuvant. Most of the influenza vaccines are produced in chicken eggs, so individuals with known egg allergies should not take them.
