Flu shot: It is acceptable to receive the flu shot in the presence of a UTI provided you are on antibiotics and feeling better.

Get it now: There are very few, if any illnesses that preclude getting vaccinated. It's fine to be vaccinated when you have a cold, sore throat, ear infection, cough, uti, etc. Its also ok to be vaccinated while on antibiotics. Go ahead and get your vaccine now.
