A panel of vaccine advisors has voted against a mercury-containing shot ingredient that the anti-vaccine movement has long targeted.

There is no evidence of harm from thimerosal, which has been linked to developmental disabilities.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still needs to sign off on that recommendation.

The recommendation would affect roughly 4% to 5% of U.S. flu vaccine supply.

Arcadia and Nordic Capital did not disclose the terms of the acquisition.

The deal is expected to close in the second half of the year .

Arcadia last raised outside funding in 2023 , when it announced $125 million in financing.

Nordic Capital's acquisition serves as an exit for earlier investors, Arcadia said.
