.Does anybody know if the tetanus (sp?) vaccination usually contains thimerosol or other mecury containing constituents.
I am generally against vaccinations but am considering one for tetanus as gardeners are more susceptible to this infection from tetanus containing soil.
This appears to be especially true for my area (Arkansas, US) as most all the soils have some amounts, owing to the prevalence of the use of horse manures.
At least that is what I am told.

It is completely up to your doctor, who has your medical records, when and if
you need a tetanus vaccination/booster.
They are particulary mindful of not doing it more often than is required to keep the antibody count up to required levels to keep you immunized against tetanus. If you get a bad or deep cut in dirty conditions they may give you a booster and also if your immunization period since the last booster is out of date. Never just get one at random without your doctor's approval or from a doctor who can't verify your degree of immunization.
