Hold off: It would probably be safe, but why take a chance of an adverse reaction while you are obviously ill at the present time. Get it when you are feeling better or see an infectious disease specialist to determine flu vaccination.

Possibly, Unclear: Question is, how accurate is this diagnosis; ? Coccidioidomycosis verified by culture as dominant & persistent in sputum? Look it up on cdc.Gov. This ds more common in desert areas, ft. Worth not typical. If you have this, you may be immune compromised & more susceptible to infections. Flu vaccine is for only 3 thought most virulent strains of influenza, among hundreds. No certain answer; tend yes.

Valley Fever: I would get you influenza vaccine once your fever is gone and you are no longer acutely ill.
