How can I determine whether the high-dose flu vaccine for seniors contains Thimerasol?

Check the vaccine insert. You may find it online if you know the brand your doctor will be using or demand your doctor to give you the insert.

Yes, they can tell you and it will be on the insert, online, etc. Also, the release you sign will have to include that.

Especially, the big pharmacies like Target and Walgreens have a 2 page handout on all the details. I would ask to see the handout before the shot or ask the pharmacist if they have one vaccine or a choice.
