I don't think the MMR vaccine is dangerous in itself but when it's preserved with Thimerosal which is a mercury-containing organic compound that is 50% mercury by weight I do have my doubts. When immunizing children and even when taking a flu vaccine I think it would be wise to request the preservative free versions. That is simply a vaccine in a single dose vial instead of a multi-dose vial.
Thimerosal may be 50% mercury by weight but the amount of Thimerosal is minute in each vaccine. We are talking about .00001% or less. Still some people are allergic to Thimerosal. They used Thimerosal in contact lens solutions to keep bacteria from growing in the solutions.

Still I get your drift and personally have tried my best to eliminate contact with Thimerosal when ever possible.
