Last yr - 170 million flu vaccines were produced and only about 9% included thimerosal. (around 15 million)

Most of US uses single vial mercury free flu shots - 91%. Only multi vial flu vaccines have thimerosal.

Should be no problem getting your vaccine as only 9% of flu vaccines will be affected.
