Thread Name: BS: flu - to jab or not to jab?
Subject: RE: BS: flu - to jab or not to jab?
Current flu vaccines contain squalene, a non-specific immunostimulant that enhances the response to the virus antigens. I have a rare, mild auto-immune condition which I would rather not have exacerbated into something worse, so I'm not about to let anybody non-specifically stimulate my immune system. (I'd have no issue with the kind of vaccine used 5 years ago, but you can't get it any more).
