Neomycin is in many vaccines.

From John at www.whale.to

“Neurotoxicity (including ototoxicity) and nephrotoxicity following the oral use of neomycin sulphate have been reported, even when used in recommended doses. “....... “An oral neomycin dose of 12 grams per day produces a malabsorption syndrome for a variety of substances including fat, nitrogen, cholesterol, carotene, glucose, xylose, lactose, sodium, calcium, cyanocobalamin and iron. Orally administered neomycin increases faecal bile acid excretion and reduces intestinal lactase activity”.....”Oral neomycin inhibits the gastrointestinal absorption of penicillin V, oral vitamin B-12, “...”If treatment of a patient less than eighteen years of age is necessary, neomycin should be used with caution”--- http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/search.htm
