1. A concentration of 1:10,000 is equivalent to a 0.01% concentration and contains 25 mcg of Hg per 0.5 mL.. Thimerosal is approximately 50% Hg by weight. * This product should be considered equivalent to thimerosal-free products. This vaccine may contain trace amounts (<0.3 mcg) of mercury left after post-production thimerosal removal; these amounts have no biological effect. JAMA 1999;282(18) and JAMA 2000;283(16).
