The Delaware Division of Public\n\n\n  Health is advising all Providers that have not already done so to place vaccine orders for the 2008-2009 influenza vaccine as soon as\n\n\n  possible.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n  Providers are reminded that currently Delaware law prohibits the administration of vaccines containing any level of mercury to children\n\n\n  younger than 8 years old and to pregnant woman. It is therefore particularly important that providers order sufficient quantities of\n\n\n  thimerosal-free flu vaccine to accommodate the anticipated need within the individual practice based upon their client profile.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n  For the current and upcoming seasons, the Division of Public Health continues to encourage providers to maximize the use of mercury-free\n\n\n  influenza vaccine for children less than 8 years old and pregnant women by prioritizing their stock of mercury-free vaccine for this\n\n\n  population.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n  The table below lists currently available flu vaccine, the age indication and thimerosal content:\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<table class=\"table table-condensed table-hover\">\n\n\n  <tbody><tr>\n\n\n    <th scope=\"col\">\n\n\n      Manufacturer\n\n\n    <\/th>\n\n\n    <th scope=\"col\">\n\n\n      Product\n\n\n    <\/th>\n\n\n    <th scope=\"col\">\n\n\n      Formulation\n\n\n    <\/th>\n\n\n    <th scope=\"col\">\n\n\n      Age Indication\n\n\n    <\/th>\n\n\n    <th scope=\"col\">\n\n\n      Contains Thimerosol\n\n\n    <\/th>\n\n\n  <\/tr>\n\n\n  <tr>\n\n\n    <td>\n\n\n      CSL Biotherapies\n\n\n    <\/td>\n\n\n    <td>\n\n\n      Afluria\u00ae\n\n\n    <\/td>\n\n\n    <td>\n\n\n      5.0 mL vial (13 doses)\n\n\n    <\/td>\n\n\n    <td>\n\n\n      18 years &#038;
