Mercury Exposure After Hepatitis B Vaccination 

Thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, is used as a preservative in hepatitis B vaccines. The researchers measured total mercury levels before and after the administration of this vaccine in 15 preterm and 5 term infants.

Comparison of pre- and post-vaccination mercury levels showed a significant increase in both preterm and term infants after vaccination. Additionally, post-vaccination mercury levels were significantly higher in preterm infants as compared with term infants.
