It's said that mercury is causing neurological problems, especially
in young people who are developing. Is there true concern?

Many, if not all, incorporate a mercury-based preservative. Attached is some information you may find useful.

It depends if the vaccine is preserved with thimerosol. This has been a concern of late with child immunizations. I believe that most of the vaccines have had thimerosol removed. One would hope that the same common sense would extend to flu shots.
Also, one must consider the consideration of mercury in a flu shot versus say the amount of mercury in a can of tuna and consider the body type/size of the flu shot recipient...
e.g. 220lb adult vs. a 10lb infant...

did you know that a typical tuna fish has more mercury than a rectal thermomater. would you eat a rectal thermomater?
think about that, how often do you eat tuna, how often do you get a flu shot. have a nice day

A Tuna fish is about 25 to 800 lbs , you dont eat 25 to 800 lbs of tuna in one setting, maybe 25 lbs in a year. have a nice day
