Is there Mercury in my flu shot?

During the manufacturing process, ethyl mercury is used versus methyl mercury. Methyl mercury is poisonous to humans. The ethyl mercury is removed during the final manufacturing process and only a trace amount remains. The amount is much less than you would ingest naturally in consuming many types of fish such a canned tuna fish.

Flu shots are a very safe and effective means to protect yourself for the flu each and every year. Please make sure to protect yourself from the respiratory flu.

Most flu vaccines will be preservative free by the 2008-09 flu shot season.
