Free to the Public An Open Source Project. The Vaccine Ingredients Calculator (VIC) is free for all to use.  The underlying code is open-source: anybody can dig into how it works, programmers in other countries can make use of the code for their own vaccines, and all may participate in our forum for open public discussion about vaccine ingredients and how to improve the VIC. Built From Publicly Available Data. The VIC is built from information contained in the vaccine manufacturer package inserts located on the Food and Drug Administration's website and derived from mercury safe exposure standards as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

What is the VIC? Informed Vaccination Decisionmaking. The purpose of this tool is to enable the public to make informed vaccination decisions for themselves and their children.  Soon, the VIC will be able to be used to determine the specific amounts of various vaccine ingredients contained in recommended vaccines.  Mercury Content in Vaccines. Currently, the VIC computes the amount of mercury contained in selected vaccines compared to what the Environmental Protection Agency indicates is safe for an adult eating mercury-contaminated fish.   Specifically, the VIC computes amount of mercury contained in Thimerosal (49.5% ethyl mercury) which is used in some H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines. Updates to the VIC A Work in Progress, Continually Improved. The VIC is updated weekly as we add data about additional vaccines and ingredients to it.  Additionally, we will respond to feedback and suggestions for improvement from people all over the world who care about improving the safety of vaccines and vaccine administration protocols.
