I'm actually allergic to the flu shot. It is 'cultured' (?) in raw egg. I received one about six years ago and spent the night in the hospital with horrendous asthma. But that's not all! Shortly after the onset of my asthma attakc, I proceeded to break out into "giant hives" for the first time since my fifth Christmas. Mmmmmm... swollen hands and feet and great big itchy sore blotches disappearing and reappearing intermittently... nothing like it!
I have to say though, it's a damn shame. No egg nog! It's what got me in trouble the first time, when I was five. To this day, I can think of few things that I crave more. :) Supposedly there is another means of receiving the vaccination; however, from what I understand, the price is definitely not right.

But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
