I get the flu shot every year. I also want to get the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available. That strain has a much higher mortality rate for pregnant women than the general population, so it seems like as long as it passes the clinical trials, it's worth the risk. If you're one of the people who sometimes (or always) gets the flu after getting the flu shot, then you should probably skip the H1N1 vaccine, but you'd probably skip the regular flu shot, too.
I usually get the shot at work, but since the layoff will be next week, I'll probably get it at my OB. If they don't offer it, I'll get it at CVS.
