Can mercury in vaccines cause brain damage, retardation, autism, attention deficit disorder, learning disorders? In the past, mercury was present in some vaccines in the form of thimerosal. Thimerosal is an organic mercury compound that has been used as a preservative in some vaccines and other medications since the 1930s. There is no evidence that the presence of thimerosal in vaccines causes brain damage in children.
