If I have been allergic to the flu shot in the past, should I avoid the H1N1 shot? In the past I broke out in hives and had trouble breathing with the flu shot and the MD told me not to take it again.

Do you know if they are they made with similar binders? I am a hospital employee and they want me to get the H1N1 shot, but I have read the two shots are very similar and I know I do not want the flu shot.
