Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 " people that were allergic to MERCURY should not get the Flu Vaccine...hmmmm. " I'm curious...what people AREN'T " allergic " to Mercury? That is pretty funny. Good to hear that your dr is posting this though...that's great. No, this is not new...but I believe that the medical profession's bigtime advertising that all children and babies should get the flu shot now too is fairly new. They didn't used to recommend it for little kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Curious.... Who is your doctor your referring to? Where are they located and what type of doctor? Just curious... Tx - Sandi Thimerisil in contact lense solution Hello to all. I was at the Doctors office today and saw a BIG sign up stating people that were allergic to MERCURY should not get the Flu Vaccine...hmmmm. From what I understood it to mean was that the Flu vaccines still have mercury in them.Additionally, the post also stated Thimerisil is also in contact lense solution, of all things!I couldnt help but wonder if this contributed to my sons autism. I got the flu shot, was given three rogam shots AND wore contacts through my entire pregnancy.Has anyone heard about this yet or is it late breaking news?KimSupport Everyday Miracles by shopping online at IGIVE.COM, where a portion of every purchase is donated to this support network.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 My mom gets a flu shot every year (she did not get one yet this year) but this was the first time she said patients were signing waviers of some kind, reason being the flu vaccine has thermerasol in it. She will probably still get it, even thoug she is hesitant. She is almost 70 years old, and is very confused about this whole mercury issue....I told her to do whatever she wants ( I do not want her getting the flu) and not to worry...if she gets alzhiemers ...we will all take care of her (haha). Seriously though I wish this whole thermirasol/mercury/vaccine issue could be resolved. We should not have to be living in fear of "what if". Lynda ps. I really don't like deleting Clooney!!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 ps. I really don't like deleting Clooney!! DITTO! The reason that manufacturers came out with a "Sensitive Eyes" version of contact lens solution was precisely the thimerosal issue. The product label states that it's Thimerosal-free.
