I got a letter from my GPs about this. They advise me that if I want a flue shot, to get the one without thiomersal.
Anyway. Im not getting it. It is clear that its a light flue and not a real worry. The main health agencies in the Netherlands have come to this conclusion. You would think that this means that there will be no more flue shots. But nothing is less true.
Problem may be that governments have bought up silos of flue shots in a time of economic crisis. I assume that throwing away vaccins worth billions of euros may cause some loss of credibility and votes.
