What if you took a flu shot when you had a cold and a sinus infection?

Doesn't matter: Your immune system responds to a vaccine as a total body response, and does so regardless of any localized problem like a cold or sinus infection. The immune system can react to and process challenges by dozens of agents at the same time & does so routinely.
