The claim that multi-dose vaccines contain more ethylmercury than is safe.
The reference dose (RfD) for methylmercury according to the EPA is 1 microgram per kilogram per day.
The only vaccines containing more than trace amounts of mercury are multi-dose vials. One of these thimerosal-perserved multi-dose vaccines is the Fluzone® Quadrivalent vaccine. Of this vaccine 0.25 mL, containing 12.5 mcg of mercury, are injected intramuscularly.

The article making the claim appears to have the math wrong. For 25 mcg you would need to be 55 pounds (25 kg). But I don't understand how a 7 kg 6-month old is safe receiving 12.5 mcg of mercury in a dose.
