Life-threatening allergic reactions to vaccines are very rare.
The contraindications for the A-H1N1/09 vaccinations regarding Allergies are to avoid them if you have an allergy to eggs, egg products, or chicken protein and if you are allergic to any of the other ingredients in the vaccines. Some vaccines are prepared with some types of antibiotics, but not penicillin (see the related question below for a complete list of ingredients in the vaccines currently approved for use in the US and UK).
Be sure to tell the person who will administer your vaccine that you have an allergy so they can determine what the best choice of vaccine would be for you and advise you on how to obtain that type if what they are administering is contraindicated in your individual case. For some people with allergies, they may also suggest that you wait for a few hours for observation after the vaccination before leaving to be sure you do not have any signs of an allergic reaction and for intervention if that should occur. Typically, allergic reactions from vaccines will occur within minutes or, at the most a few hours, of the administration.

Can you get shingles shot after getting cortisone shot?
Shingles are caused by the chicken pox virus. If you had chicken pox as a child, you have the potential to have shingles later in life. The virus stays latent deep in nervous system tissue and then activates and produces the pain and skin eruptions known as shingles. We are not sure what causes the virus to go active again after decades but there is likely some initiating trigger. The flu shot would not cause shingles, however, each individual's response to drugs and medications can be different. Ask your doctor if, in your case, the immune response to the flu shot could have caused your outbreak of shingles. It is doubtful, but potentially not impossible. If that were the initiating event, it would not be that you "caught" shingles from the vaccine, it would be that the immune response to the vaccine might have triggered the chicken pox virus to reactivate and create shingles.
