Q: I heard it was called something like thermasol in vaccines.

A: Mercury and vaccines (thimerosal)
Thimerosal is a preservative containing mercury acclimated to some vaccines and other products since the 1930s.

Looking for a list (not a link) of vaccines that contain thermasol besides the flu shot?

Q: Upright wanted to make sure my 15 month old son hasn't had any of them.
Docs should really verbally give you an way out instead of handing you a pamphlet that some parents might not read at all or until after the shots have been already given.

A: DT - diptheria & tetanus toxoids - contains 25 mcg mercury, 0.01% thimerosal

Tetanus toxoid - contains 25 mcg mercury, 0.01% thimerosal

Meningococcal - contains 25 mcg mercury, 0.01% thimerosal

Some vaccinations

A: I did a brilliant google search on vaccines containing thermasol and found the search to be quite in depth and time consuming. So hence I would say this would be the reason no one answered.
