Hi there.

Just for information, I had Pandremix on Monday. From the GSK leaflet:
-------------------------------
Pandremix contains:
Active substance: Split influenza virus, inactivated, containing antigen* equivalent to:
A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) v-like virus 3.75 micrograms** per 0.5ml dose
*propagated in eggs
**expressed in microgram haemagglutinin, unless justified

This vaccine complies with the WHO recommendation and EU decision for the pandemic.

Adjuvant:
The vaccine contains and 'adjuvant' AS03 to stimulate a better response. This adjuvant contains squalene (10.69 milligrams), DL-alpha-tocopherol (11.86 milligrams) and polysorboate 80 (4.86 milligrams

Other ingredients:
The other ingredients are: polysorbate 80, octoxynol 10, thiomersal, sodium chloride (NaCl), disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4), potassium chloride (KCl), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), water for injections
-----------------
As far as pregnancy/breastfeeding, it says tell your doctor who will decide if you can be given Pandremix if pregnant, but that it can be used during breastfeeding.
