A member asked:
Why can't a patient receive a flu shot if they have an elevated heart rate due to an anxiety disorder? (ptsd)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can...: Usually the only issues that would preclude you from getting a flu shot is current infection, fever, or allergy to eggs/other parts of the immunization. Anxiety disorder does not prevent you from getting the flu vaccine.
