I think some of have gotten your shot. I’m about to. I did look on CDC regarding mercury. Only in multi dose vials, to minimize contamination. So I’m good. No worries 😊

Mine contained mercury. Look on your receipt. Also, I have been sick for 2 weeks. On amoxicillin and finally starting to get better. I will not get one next year

Also, in regards to mercury, some manufacturers use it, some don’t. I’ll ask my pharmacist before I take it. Mercury isn’t something new in flu shots.

Flu shot is a dead virus...if you got sick you were sick just not having symptoms b4 you received the shot...

If you were sick WHEN you received the shot you should NOT have received it!!! It’s part of the paperwork you fill out, it plainly asks you if you are sick...don’t get the shot IF YOUR SICK...any symptoms of cold-flu-ANYTHING...WAIT TWO WEEKS...

it’s not a good combination....I’m sorry your health care person gave you the shot if you were sick already...you should not have received it...😢

Think you sent to me by mistake, lol! I’ve been taking flu shot since 1999 & never a problem. 😊 I do agree with everything you say though.
