Some multi-dose vials of vaccine (e.g., Menomune & Influenza vaccine) contain thimerosal. There are small amounts of thimerosal in DT, Td, TT and some formulations of influenza vaccine. The FDA has a comprehensive list of thimerosal content in vaccines, as well as other preservatives at www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimerosal.
