Try non med first: The first line of treatment for a Parkinsons patient should be non medication based. Use increased fluids and nasal saline washes for nasal congestion, honey for cough and salt water gargles for sore throat. If these do not help, talk to a dr via telemedicine to discuss exactly what and for how long you can take.

COVID vaccine diff: I'm not certain whether you are referring to the FLU shot (influenza) or PNEUMOVAX for pneumococcal pneumonia but in either case the COVID vaccine is different and so whichever other vaccine/shot you are referring to will have no expected protective effect against COVID. If you'd like a TELECONSULT given your PARKINSON'S condition call Parma Neurology @440.842.3816. Cheers!
