Default Information about Mercury in flu shots:

A few years ago I called a government health agency and was told that the mercury in a flu shot is a very small amount, about the same as you would get from eating one small can of tuna per week.

Also, there's more than one type of mercury. The mercury in a flu shot is not the type you would find in a mercury thermometer etc.. The small amount of mercury in a flu shot will be quickly disposed of by natural means that your body employs for disposal of toxins.

I'm not for or against anyone getting a flu shot. I'm just passing along some information about the mercury aspect of it.

I happen to be in very good health so I might decide not to get one this year. I believe I have a strong immune system because I never get colds.
