Well, for one thing, the flu vaccine only protects against certain strains of influenza. This is why often people still get the flu even after getting a flu shot. They never seem to correctly predict what will be going around in any given season.
I do believe it is still included in most flu vaccines, though you can request thimerosol free versions at some places. (FTR, even though it's no longer put in vaccines, there are still some vaccines in distribution that contain it from before it was removed - they didn't take all the old doses off the shelves or anything, just stopped using it). I don't know about aluminum, but my source below can probably provide you with that info.
909shot.com is a great place for information about vaccines of all sorts.
