The H1N1 vaccination is the hot topic for pregnant women and nursing moms. The vaccine contains a mercury preservative and some believe mercury is linked to autism. Researchers however, assert there isn't a link between mercury and autism. They are making a vaccine without thimerosal, the additive that has mercury in it for pregnant women and children.
Here are some links from the CDC and American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which both strongly recommend vaccination.

I am planning to call my OB next week for her recommendation. However, on the ACOG link, they give doctors a script to say to their patients, so I have a feeling she is going to recommend it.
I still haven't decided what to do. I luckily got the seasonal flu shot prior to being pregnant. What have you decided? What did your doctor recommend?
