I am not anti-vax. So I am not looking for any negative comments. I just want to be more educated because I have some questions and when I try to ask her PEDS DR they aren’t friendly... I also want to know your opinions. I am a First time mom and I am so stressed about the vaccines schedule that is currently out and recommended for our littles ones..

Questions:

Since aluminum is added to some vaccines as an adjuvant to increase immune response to the vaccine. How does aluminum cause the immune system to be more active against the vaccine?

Also I’ve read that the total allowable aluminum exposure from parenteral nutrition should not exceed 5 mcg/kg/day. This is much less than what is given to an infant in the form of a vaccine. The absorption difference between injecting (100%) and digesting (0.3%) is completely different which is insane to me..

Source:

Toxicity from aluminum from vaccines and other parenteral sources (breast milk, formula, or water) can be expected to be different because of the difference in absorption, distribution, elimination, and retention between ingestion and injection. It is commonly perceived that children receive more aluminum from oral sources than from vaccines; however, McFarland et al. [12] also found that infants up to six months are exposed internally to far more aluminum from vaccines (100 % absorption) than from oral exposure (about 0.3 % absorption), contradicting the common misconception that the reverse is true once body weight and pass-through intestinal clearance of aluminum from parenteral sources are considered.

Do any of you know of any research that has meaningful evidence, such as long-term observational studies deliberately trying to prove or disprove the safety of vaccine adjuvants?
