A member asked:
Is thimerosal used in allergy shots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: You would need to actually look at the package insert for the ingredients. Many multi-dose vials of injectables will contain thimerosal as a preservative to prevent contamination. Talk to your allergist who will know what they are using and be able to look at the ingredients.
