My doctor strongly advised me to get the flu shot when I found out I was pregnant, I didn't (I despise needles, and figured if I'm going to get poked every appointment Id rather get the least amount of poking done) but I ended up with the flu three times this past winter. Next year I'm definitely getting the flu shot.
