Havrix is the trade name for the Hepatitis A vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. The Havrix Hepatitis A vaccine ingredients include the Hepatitis A virus, the chemicals formalin, (AKA Formaldehyde), aluminum hydroxide, 2-phenoxyethanol, and polysorbate 20, and human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissues.
One of the issues I have with injecting viral particles into the body is because they do not function and teach the human immune system in the same way that a natural infection does. If a child gets Hepatitis A, not only are their chances of survival and full recovery great, they will have a life long immunity to Hepatitis A afterwards. The antibodies present in the system after vaccination are about 10 to 100 times less than those present in an individual who has received natural immunity. There are no guarantees that the Hepatitis A vaccine will give a lifelong immunity which means your child could get Hepatitis A at an older age where the risk of death is considerably higher. There are typically about 100 cases of Hepatitis A in the United States Annually.
Formalin, (AKA Formaldehyde) is a highly toxic chemical and is the worst of the Havrix Hepatitis A Vaccine Ingredients. It weakens the immune system, it is a suspected carcinogen that has been linked to leukemia and other cancers, it is a neurotoxin, and can cause genetic damage, circulatory shock and renal failure as well as being a sensitizer. Formaldehyde is not safe at any level, in gaseous form in concentrations less than 1ppm it has been known to cause health issues such as the case of the FEMA trailers in New Orleans, but in a liquid form as is the case with vaccines, it is in liquid form which is a highly concentrated form of formaldehyde. Read my more detailed article about formaldehyde here.
Aluminum hydroxide is an aluminum salt that is toxic to the body. Aluminum is highly neurotoxic and has been linked to Alzheimer’s, dementia, and more. Aluminum builds up in the body in the brain, liver, thyroid and lung tissues. Side effects of aluminum build up include kidney dysfunction, ricketts, osteomalacia, liver function impairment, esophagitis, memory loss, dementia, encephalitis, and psychosis, (and more). Read my article about Aluminum Hydroxide here.
2-phenoxyethanol is a toxic ingredient that can have the following side effects, (not a complete list): shock, convulsions, kidney failure, cardiac failure and death as well as dermatitis and eczema at the injection site. Read my article about 2-phenoxyethanol here.
Human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissues – This is a philosophical / religious issue. If you are pro life and against abortion then by all means you or your children should not have this vaccine. The use of this vaccine creates a market for abortion and this in a secondary way promotes abortion
Some of the possible side effects from Havrix include, (partial list): Redness, swelling, fatigue, fever, anorexia, nausea, rash, pharyngitis, upper respiratory infections, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, photophobia, vertigo, anaphylactoid reactions, syncope, jaundice, hepatitis, dyspnea, convulsions, encephalopathy, dizziness, neuropathy, myelitis, paresthesia, Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis.
The rule of thumb by most people is do the benefits outweigh the risks. Considering 100 cases of Hepatitis A annually, children are the least risk group of severe injury from having the disease, the disease gives full immunity but the vaccine makes no claims, my judgment would be that the risks outweigh the benefits, but each person must make this determination for themselves.

Disclaimer: This article, “Havrix Hepatitis A Vaccine Ingredients”, is not intended to give medical advice. It is a call to educate yourself so that in making a decision where your child is concerned, you should take an active role in learning all you can from medical experts on both sides of the fence, then make an educated decision. we did not make an informed decision until one son got Leukemia and another developed Autism immediately after receiving his MMR vaccine. This has sent us on a quest to inform ourselves and others to seriously question what kind of toxic soups are being injected with the vaccines. Odds are if your child is injured by a vaccine, you have little or no recompense against the industry.
