not really important; what is important, is the dose/amount within scientific/FDA safety guidlines? For example, the FDA deems 0.85mg of aluminum to be a safe dose; the highest level of aluminum in any vaccine is 0.25mg, and the vast majority have far less or none at all. Clearly well within safety guidlines

for the sake of discussion, we use aluminum adjuvants in the lab all the time when we innoculate rabbits. The aluminum helps tremendously in eliciting an immune response - thats what you would want with a vaccine. Without the adjuvant, the immune response is insignificant. Seems to me, as long as the dose is within safety guidlines, and the guidelines are constantly evolving with new research and information, then I'd feel very comfortable receiving a vaccine or having it administered to a loved one
