I have a cold, Should i get the flu shot tomorrow?
Is it bad to get the flu shot when i am already sick? I will not have another chance to receieve the shot and I work with kids daily.

its not recommended to get a flu shot when you are sick, but if you work with kids, and this is your only chance, you may as well go for it.

They usually ask you if you are sick with stuffy nose or sore throat or anything else before you get it. It's not bad for you to actually get the shot if you are sick but it may lessen the effect of the shot if you are sick. But It's better to be safe than sorry so I think you should get it because it's better than just going without.

It is apparently ok to get the flu shot if you have just a cold, however if you have a fever it is recommended that you wait. The best person to ask about this is your doctor, they are qualified to tell you what is best based on your condition.
