Are you getting the flu shot?
Shooter: My wife works at a hospital and is required to get both the seasonal shot and the H1N1 shot in order to keep her job.  She is also pregnant.  Because of her pregnancy, they are giving her a different version of the shot that doesn't contain mercury.  I'm not sure why the 'regular' shots have mercury in them.  She polled about 20 physicians on whether she should get the shots (before they were mandatory), and it was almost equally divided between yes and no.  Some of the doctors do not want them, and said they would have to be physically forced to get the shots themselves.I have a compromised immune system, and I'm still not sure what I will do.  I have always gotten sick immediately after getting a flu shot, so it makes it a tough decision for me - a game of odds.
