A member asked:
Is it dangerous if i got a flu shot while i was sick with a sinus infection and was one antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: But there is some evidence that getting a flu shot when you have an illness with a fever might make the flu shot less effective. Best idea is to wait until you're better.
