A reader of my web site sent me the following information following an eczema
reaction that her baby son got to the DPT vaccine:

"Boostrix
and Certiva use the Stainer's Culture Medium which contains casein
hydrolysate but the Adacel doesn't."

She found some information on the CDC web site and some on rxlist.com.

If you have any personal experience with this, I'd love to hear it.  For the
time being, I've put a caution on my web site.

Thanks,
