As Wasabi said, the preservative used in the injection shots (thimerosal) contains a small amount of mercury and some people are sensitive to thimerosal. Whenever I get my flu shot, they ask about that. Thimerosal used to be used a preservative in some eye drops and contact lens solutions. I wear contacts and found that I did have a reaction to solutions with thimerosal after prolonged use, but I have never had an allergic response to the flu shot....no redness, itching, etc. As others have said, the benefits of the flu shot far outweigh any issues with the shot if you have not had a bad reaction to shots in the past.
