The only vaccine (H1N1 & Seasonal) that does not contain Thimerosal is the single-dose vial and the preloaded single dose syringe. All other multi-dose vials contain Thimerosal. If you go to the manufacturer's websites you can read the package inserts and see this fact. They will also tell you the latex content of the vaccine, which is latex free. The packaging latex content may differ per manufacturer. The statement that the flu vaccines this year do not contain Thimerosal is not true.

Most cases go unreported and back in 1978, were the norm as opposed to rarity. The CDC pulled the vaccine only after thousands of folks show up with Lou Gehrig disease and several hundreds had died. Most reactions were not immediate rather delayed. Exact counts of the harm done we'll never know. The vitamin D recommendation is well founded and I might add one should consider other supplementation which increases the body's immune system to ward off both viruses and bacteria. .

Use Vitamin D3 at 2000 to 4000 iu's per day. Its more effective and 1000 times safer than the flu shot I do not trust the huge pharmacy companies. What they tell you they put in their vaccines is one thing and what they really put into vaccines is top secret. WHY? Is there not honesty in labelling laws. Avoid the flu shot at all costs.

Be careful and make sure you tell them what you allergies are because I had an allergic reation to the drops they used to dialate my eyes...Two days later I had hives on the insides of my thighs and had to go back on oral steroids in order to get rid of it...just a friendly reminder if you have excema be careful of the vaccines and drops they give you because a lot of these are in eye drops including contact lense solutions, makeup (ie. mascera and eyeliner and eye shadow), cleaning products, shampoos and conditioners, hair dyes, baby products ( I recommend Aveeno because it is free of all these chemicals). All FREE and Clear and Bounce FRee are excellent products and don't cause a reaction.

He felt bad for about a about 8 days, then on Oct. 10th died in his sleep at the age of 49. He was a healthy active man, with no prior heart or BP problems, the autopsy showed that the heart muscle was extremely weak and failed during his sleep ( he had borderline sleep apnea). His last words were "Im going to bed, I hurt all over". After many doctors reviewed his extensive autopsy they indicated that there was probably a rare viral infection in his heart that caused the heart the fail. I'm sure his case is one in a zillion, but people should know that there are risks, and that lab created vaccinations are subject to human error.
