No, you cannot receive a flu shot while you are sick. Your immune system needs to be as healthy as possible or you run the risk of catching the flu from the very shot that is supposed to keep you from getting it.

I somewhat have been given the flu shot mutually as i replaced into 13 weeks alongside and did now no longer have any element outcomes. it somewhat is defend to get for the time of being pregnant and the disadvantages suitable with the flu shot are plenty decrease than the disadvantages from subject concerns that would upward thrust up mutually as a pregnant woman gets the flu. for this reason of fact the flu shot isn't a stay virus, it could no longer reason you to get the flu. regardless of if, it does take some weeks to take consequence so it somewhat is obtainable to get the flu for the time of that element even whether the flu shot did now no longer reason it. The nasal flu vaccine includes the stay virus so pregnant women would desire to steer sparkling of that vaccination.

It's better to wait because the flu shot contains some of the flu virus. You will get sicker.

I don't think you should get a flu shot if your already sick, you'll need to wait.

better wait cause their could be side effects from your body trying to fight one infection only to fight another.even though the flu shot contains moslty dead
viruses,it helps because it causes your body to mobilize
anti-bodies which remain present during an actual flu
outbreak.

You need to be well when you receive it, or it could cause severe sickness and complications.

I would get one. You are not going to die if you do. It's not going to interact with anything.
