Flu Shot?

My doctor really wants both my husband and myself to receive the flu shot since I am pregnant. However, my doctors office does not offer the vaccine so we will have to go elsewhere to have that done. A local clinic that is affiliated with our main hospital is offering the flu vaccine so I called to set up my appointment. At the time I spoke with the nurse who then informed me of all these allergies that you cannot have in order to get the vaccine then she read this to me off the back of their vaccine "this vaccine has not under went any testing and there is no information regarding possible fetal harm." This instanly threw a red flag for me. I have a call into my doctor to see what she recommends. What about you ladies, does your doctor want you to get the flu shot and will you be getting it?
