Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary - Excipients Included in U.S. ...
They also include bits of whatever culture they were grown in (yeast, eggs, dead babies) because you can't entirely remove them via any purification process. Also the live virus versions contain whatever microbes the culture it was grown in might contain. Look up 'SV40 and polio vaccine'. Also 'Pig Wasting Virus' and rotavirus vaccine'. Probably more we haven't identified yet.

What I see in the link are the components of cell culture and microbial culture. I will repeat what is at the top of the table:
This table includes not only vaccine ingredients (e.g., adjuvants and preservatives), but also substances used during the manufacturing process, including vaccine-production media, that are removed from the final product and present only in trace quantities.
In addition to the substances listed, most vaccines contain Sodium Chloride (table salt).
FYI, the fetal cells mentioned were WI-38 and MRC-5. That doesn't mean that the vaccine contains those cells, but that the virus was grown in them. Most vaccines are produced by more than one manufacturer. If it disturbs you to be vaccinated with a vaccine grown in cells from a murdered baby, you can tell your doctor that you want a vaccine from a different manufacturer (you have to do a bit of research, probably, so that you have an acceptable alternate vaccine to propose). You can also write to the manufacturer to express your displeasure at being offered a vaccine grown in murdered baby cells. As a scientist, I am very well aware that there is no scientific reason to select fetal cells for vaccine growth; there are thousands of other cells to choose from. The Vero cells mentioned in that table are monkey cells.
More on topic, the influenza vaccines are grown in chicken eggs. That *does* mean that one or more chicken embryos die for every dose of flu vaccine. It's unfortunate, but most people would agree that human life is worth more than chicken life. I should mention that recent studies have shown that the influenza vaccine does not cause allergic reactions in people who are allergic to eggs.
