Inactive flu shot OK: According to the CDC, the inactivated flu vaccine can be given any time after a live vaccine. There are some forms of live flu vaccine that must be avoided for a time but the usual inactivated flu vaccine should not be a problem. Ask your doc to confirm. Look on this page under the heading "Nonsimultaneous Administration": https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/general-recs/timing.html
