Isn’t this years flu shot a mRNA product ?
There is some question about that - they may still be in trials. For sure, you need to ask if it’s an mRNA product & if so, hard pass.
Saw this - thought you might be interested:
Experimental flu vaccine, developed using mRNA, seen as potential game changer

“This would not be a vaccine that would block all flu infections, nor would it replace the need for an annual flu shot. Instead, it would prime the immune system to better respond to new flu viruses, lowering the risk of hospitalization, death, and social disruption.”
Towards the end of the article:
“Reactogenicity is in some ways an Achilles heel right now for mRNA vaccines, and there is a lot of concern about that potential trade-off between immunogenicity and reactogenicity,” Cobey said.
Hensley agreed the size of the dose needed for people could be an issue. In the animal experiments, a dose of 50 micrograms — 2.5 micrograms per flu virus targeted — was used. To put that in context, that is the size of the Moderna Covid booster, which targets two Covid strains. The Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster contains 30 micrograms of antigen.
This is what I was really looking for (Dr. Flowers on GETTR):

How do you know whether your flu shot is the dangerous mRNA one? DO NOT TAKE ‘recombinant’ vaccine. If you want an old school flu vax, then take the attenuated one ONLY. Remember though that flu jabs in best years are only 10-20% effective

excellent question....Jabbed equals GMO.
