I have a cold. Can I still get a flu or pneumonia shot?
I've had a cold for two weeks. Will that interfere with me getting shots for flu and pneumonia?

Best to defer vaccinations until you're better.
Vaccinations depend on the body's immune system, and in times of illness, the immune system is under stress and not functioning optimally. Apart from not getting the full protection from vaccines, potential side effects maybe enhanced.
Check with you doctor though to confirm, as he/she will have a better idea of your present health than anyone reading here.
