i just found this out today and thought i should share…the Prevnar vacc contains soy protein. no doc ever told me this. im pretty upset…
here is the ingredients list, scroll down to prevnar vacc
April 14, 2007 at 3:33 pm #30504AnonymousInactiveThat is so weird…soy is what bothered Brianna the MOST and she had absolutely no problems with any of her vaccinations (I did vaccinate Brianna, but I am not trying to start a debate here or anything, I agree with Laura we need to end this one, I just find it funny that Brianna was the exact opposite of how almost everything should be.) I agree do your research and remember that everyone is entitled to thier opinions, and no one is wrong one way or the other.

M-M-R® II
(MEASLES, MUMPS, and
RUBELLA VIRUS VACCINE LIVE)
DESCRIPTION
M-M-R* II (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Virus Vaccine Live) is a live virus vaccine for vaccination
against measles (rubeola), mumps and rubella (German measles).
M-M-R II is a sterile lyophilized preparation of (1) ATTENUVAX* (Measles Virus Vaccine Live), a more
attenuated line of measles virus, derived from Enders’ attenuated Edmonston strain and propagated in
chick embryo cell culture; (2) MUMPSVAX* (Mumps Virus Vaccine Live), the Jeryl Lynn** (B level) strain of
mumps virus propagated in chick embryo cell culture; and (3) MERUVAX* II (Rubella Virus Vaccine Live),
the Wistar RA 27/3 strain of live attenuated rubella virus propagated in WI-38 human diploid lung
fibroblasts.1,2
The growth medium for measles and mumps is Medium 199 (a buffered salt solution containing
vitamins and amino acids and supplemented with fetal bovine serum) containing SPGA (sucrose,
phosphate, glutamate, and human albumin) as stabilizer and neomycin.
The growth medium for rubella is Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) [a buffered salt solution
containing vitamins and amino acids and supplemented with fetal bovine serum] containing human serum
albumin and neomycin. Sorbitol and hydrolyzed gelatin stabilizer are added to the individual virus harvests.
The cells, virus pools, fetal bovine serum, and human albumin are all screened for the absence of
adventitious agents. Human albumin is processed using the Cohn cold ethanol fractionation procedure.
The reconstituted vaccine is for subcutaneous administration. Each 0.5 mL dose contains not less than
1,000 TCID50 (tissue culture infectious doses) of measles virus; 20,000 TCID50 of mumps virus; and
1,000 TCID50 of rubella virus. Each dose of the vaccine is calculated to contain sorbitol (14.5 mg), sodium
phosphate, sucrose (1.9 mg), sodium chloride, hydrolyzed gelatin (14.5 mg), human albumin (0.3 mg),
fetal bovine serum (<1 ppm), other buffer and media ingredients and approximately 25 mcg of neomycin.
The product contains no preservative.
Before reconstitution, the lyophilized vaccine is a light yellow compact crystalline plug. M-M-R II, when
reconstituted as directed, is clear yellow.ForumAdmin2007-4-14 22:33:21

“MSPI babies and Vaccines”
https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8113&a mp;a mp;PN=0&TPN=3While I appreciate everyone’s efforts to bring to light any information that they deem beneficial to other forum participants, I cannot allow posts that develop such a negative tone.
Therefore, I have closed this thread and most of the thread has been deleted. This is not an effort to censor the information in the thread (although I reserve the right to do that if necessary). This is a proactive step in keeping with the mission of the InfantReflux.Org forums: to provide a SAFE and POSITIVE environment for parents seeking infant reflux solutions.
I merely provide a vehicle for non-reflux related topics to further serve the members of the forums.
While I do not object to the information regarding the Prevnar vaccine being brought to light (as I did look myself and the Prevnar insert lists “soy peptone broth” as an ingredient – whether that affects soy-allergy infants, I cannot say because I am not a doctor), I do object to the personal attacks that became part of the thread.
These types of exchanges have NO PLACE on the InfantReflux.Org message board. I simply will not allow it.
When I receive reports on posts, I review the posts and determine if the posts go against the mission of the InfantReflux.Org message boards. After reviewing the post, I determine whether isolated posts can be deleted or whether the entire thread needs to be deleted. In this case, I feel like most of this thread needs to be deleted.
I then determine whether I need to directly contact members who participated in the thread. At any time I reserve the right to suspend or ban participation in the InfantReflux.Org forums.
Once you’ve been a member for awhile, it’s easy to forget how you felt when you first visited the forums. We need to make sure that EVERY THREAD has a positive and comforting tone that parents desperate for information are looking for.
Sharing of information is good, but too much opinion is not. If you can’t say something nice then DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL! If you have a problem with a post or a reply to one of your posts, then before you post your dismay on the message board, please contact me first. I can usually stop these threads before they ever have the chance to get out of hand.
Thank you for your full cooperation on this.
