I don't know if it contains thermisol. The oral polio was a live virus and you could get polio from it. it was preferred because it also vaccinated, through the air and such, non vaccinated people. Of course a non vaccinated person could get polio form a person who got the oral polio vaccination. The shot is a dead virus and can't give anyone polio. But, if it has thermisol, who know?
