flu vaccine

I finally went to the doc about the sporatic breaking out on various parts of my body and was told I was having hives. I take zyrtec and can usually go about 3 days before needing another. My question is this, should I get the flu vaccine this year? The doc said anything could cause hives including stress. As I don't know a specific cause I'm really on the fence about my flu shot.

You can have an allergic reaction to prettty much anything, so it's impossible to predict whether or not you'd have problems after getting the influenza vaccine.  I always recommend the flu shot to everyone.  While cases of Influenza remain pretty uncommon, it can be serious and preventable with the vaccine.

The only true contraindication to getting a flu shot would be someone with an allergy to eggs.
