Flu vaccine???: I think you are asking about getting the flu vaccine. If you have a fever with your illness, then the vaccine should be delayed. But, if you have a viral upper airway infection with no fever, then it is likely ok to get the vaccine. See your doctor and get the vaccine as quickly as possible. Your doctor will know if you are too ill to get the vaccine.
