The VVO mechanism suggests that the existence of a neutrino magnetic moment would lead to variations of the observed solar neutrino flux with the magnetic activity of the Sun. The MSW mechansm suggests neutrino oscillations in the dense plasma solar interior. Assuming a non-vanishing neutrino magnetic moment and a magnetic field gradient increasing towards the solar core as required in some dynamo models, the combined effect of the oscillation and the flipping on neutrino propagation in the solar interior is studied. The effect of charge screening in scattering cross-section is also considered.
