I was in process of writing an article on vaccinations for the Mt. X Kids Guide when the Hannah Poling case broke. So I wrote a breaking news story for the Mt. X blog yesterday with some local reaction to the case: http://www.mountainx.com/news/2008/030708_mercuryactivists.

I’m interested in what other parents think about this case and vaccinations in general. My kids were vaccinated (one before the removal of Thimerosal). I’m a big proponent of the flu vaccine, but now I’ve learned that some multi-dose flu vaccines do contain Thimerosal and the CDC has just recommended that all children aged 6 months to 18 years receive an annual flu shot.

What do y’all think?
