Absolutely. Taking the COVID jab is entirely independent of taking the influenza jab.

Yes, taking the COVID vaccine is not conditioned by taking the flu shot. Unclear of what the reasons were behind not taking the flu shot, allergy or beliefs, taking the COVID vaccine would be recommended, unless otherwise instructed by your docs.
