One of the only vaccines left that contains mercury if flu. Noone in our family is taking it. Last year they gave out a vaccine for flu that did not match the strain that was circulating. Children here DO NOT need a flu shot to attend school but the doctors will attempt to jab them with it anyway.
Sorry to correct the previous post, children do not need flu immunization to attend elementary school. For that matter check out all the EXTRA shots given to preschoolers only good until they are about 4 years old. These shots are not REQUIRED for entrance into public school. Check your state Dept of Health website and research it for yourself.
