I am wondering if Tdap boosters have mercury in them because I have to have one prior to the entry of Middle School.

Get your private doctor to give you the shot. Tell him before hand
you want to see the bottle/paper work showing it is THIMERSOL
mercury free. Tell him to put in your medical records that it was
mercury free, the lot number, manfactur date , manufacture. If he
says no find a new doctor.

I would suggest asking your health care provider.

Otherwise, you can contact your state or local health department or the CDC who should know the answer to that.

I think some states ban mercury in vaccines and most drug companies do not use it anymore, at least in the US. Does not hurt to find out however.
