A bf mother of a 10 month old is considering a flu shot.  (The  baby is high
risk, the pediatrician has no supply, but the mom's doc can get  adult vaccine
for her.)

The vaccine she is being offered contains thimerosal.  She asks  whether the
mercury she'll take into her milk makes this contraindicated.

Can anyone comment? Please reply off list as I am no-mail.

Thanks and regards to all -- I have been off-list for a long while but I
think about you guys often. ESU
