but our doctor doesn't think it is wise to give such a small little guy any extra mercury under the age of three. I know there are lots of people who say it's safe, but there are so many shots out there now without thimerisol. So I'd prefer one without if possible.

There used to be plenty of doctors who thought leeches were a good idea too. I can't say whether or not thimerisol is OK being an artist and not a doctor. There is a huge portion of the population that wants thimerisol free shots so hopefully the pharmaceutical companies will recognize this and provide that that is desired to consumers.

But if it turns out we have to get a thimerisol flu shot for him or nothing at all, he's getting the shot. Thankfully all his other shots so far have been thimerisol free and he never eats fish so hopefully he's not getting any mercury in his system any other way.

Are there other sources of mercury in our environment?
