The official guidance and what my doctor says is that it’s fine to get the flu shot as long as you have a fever. A cold isn’t a reason to delay.

Do not get it if sick.
I did it once when I forgot a cold was coming. I think it makes it harder to fight the cold.

I got a flu shot when I'd had bronchitis for weeks, didn't seem to make any difference.

This is why they ask you "are you feeling ok today"

No no no. They will tell you not to get it. I did this and end up with pneumonia. 100% do NOT recommend.

I would not overburden your immune system in that way.

Woke up feeling pressure in my eyes and like a cold may be developing.

Its likely a cold because our kids are getting over it too (no Covid). I was scheduled to get my flu shot this morning because I’m traveling next week.

Should I hold off? I read it could prolong your cold symptoms if you get it while sick.
