Hello Miasmom,
I assume that you do not know for sure that the ingredient you
indicated is in the vaccine called Energix-B. Thus I looked for
resources on the Net that list the ingredients of Energix-B vaccine.
And I found many. Only a few are need I believe to show you what I've
found (and they show that thimerosal is certainly an ingredient of the
vaccine):

Using the first search term listed below will give you a lot of
results that have the above information.
As for the amount in the vaccine, here is a document from
Glaxo-Smithkline showing it:

According to this document, the child's formula of Energix contains
less than 0.5 mcg (micrograms) mercury thimerosal, while the adult
formula contains less than 1.0 mcg.
Here is a PDF document of a report about one possible effect of
thimerosal, Autism, if ever this is what you had in mind.
