I was given ear drops at the ER in 2002 and they contained

Thimerosal as a preservative.

" 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.

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".

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.
