Yes they do in the UK and the Pharmacist do Flu Jabs now but I am getting mine done next week at my Doctors because that is what I prefer to do. I think it helps me especially when other people around me have a bad cold or they sneeze and do not cover their mouth then I seem to pick up everyone's germs straight away which as everyone in here knows it is deadly and it lasts for weeks on end.

Absolutely not ! I've not had the flu in years and no pneumonia either. I'm not messing with what is actually working right in my body! Things like thimerosal and other things are just not what I want to put in my body l:)
