Can allergy shot contain mercury ( thiomersal)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy injections) as administered by allergists contain the allergen such as tree, grass, weed, dust, dander etc and saline, glycerin or phenol as the preservative. There should be no thimerasol.
