This has been discussed endlessly on here. If you do a search, a lot of other threads will come up where people give their reasons for and against. :)

Thank you :)

Since I had my thyroid removed in 2015 I never have the flu jab.

The jab contains thiomersal - a mercury containing agent which I would like to avoid at all costs.
