Re: Flu Shot Ingredients ???
I heard the same thing Yorkie (Vickie) did. That the H1N1 has a small amount of mercury in it...in fact they said they have been giving vaccines that way for years safely. But the doctor I was listening to on TV was discussing the topic of the H1N1 vaccine mainly. He did however mention that they were concerned lots of people...especially pregnant woman would not get this shot due to the risk of the mercury and the autism connection.
He did say due to this there is going to be "two" types of vaccines made for the H1N1...and one will be made without the mercury.
Now I don't know if the regular flu shot has trace amounts of mecury, good question? I hope not...I already had mine this year. They talked me into the day I had my Herceptin/Zometa infusion. I bet someone here will have the answer.
