Unlikely a problem;: will likely just develop a stronger immune response to the 3 strains (of hundreds) of influence type A which the vaccine targets. Keep your priorities straight, go for the lesser of the evils, highly likely a second vaccination.

Heard you shouldnt get a flu vaccine if you have a fever, but no one has explained why. so, what exactly would happen if you got a flu vaccination while enduring an illness with fever? or what if you get vaccinated while incubating a flu infection?
