Do those sensitive to mercury have problems with thimerosal-containing vaccines?
Some individuals experience local skin reactions such as redness and swelling that may suggest a delayed-type of minor allergic reaction following injection with products containing thimerosal. A prior history of a minor reaction to thimerosal in a vaccine is not considered a contraindication to further vaccination with thimerosal-containing vaccines. Severe allergic reactions to any vaccine is a contraindication to further vaccination with the vaccine.
