I'm writing an article for our office news letter on WHY not to get a flu shot.

Looking at the additives in the new shots, ran across this chemical....  glycol p-isooctylphenyl ether.

When I looked it up found this to be Triton X100 (on the www.Calbiochem.com 
site). there are 4 versions of Triton X100 (basically a detergent and emulsifier). Look at the last time---same on EVERY form of the chemical.

please pass on.
