Should you get a flu shot if you currently have a cold? Or does that risk screwing up your immune system?
I was at a scout leadership meeting last night, and out of 10 adults, 3 of them were just getting over the flu, and one was absent because she and her only child both had the flu. It's dropping folks like flies here in Arlington. 3-4 days in bed before being well enough to be shuffling weakly around. My wife is finally among the living and is talking about possibly taking a shower today after 3 days in bed.
I'm a bit nervous about getting this flu, but have lingering cold symptoms from a cold I got about a week ago. Is it dumb to be looking for a shot right now?
