Has anyone with a mild egg allergy had the flu shot this year?

Question by Andria E: Has anyone with a mild egg allergy had the flu shot this year?
I work at a hospital and either get a flu shot by Tuesday or be fired. 5 years ago my allergist diagnosed me with egg allergies. I still eat egg products (cooked) and have no problems. I have also had the MMR vaccine with no problems. Anyone else taken this? What happened? I am pretty much willing to take my chances- after all I am at a hospital. When I talk to employee health here they simply say no.
