Is it fine to get flu jab with a slightly sore throat?

Flu shot booked for today and woken up with a bit of a slightly scratchy throat. Nothing major and certainly no temperature.

Is this fine? Is it only if you have a high temp or are feeling very crappy that you shouldn't get it?

Yes, you'll be fine. If you're anything like me you'd be waiting all winter otherwise :)

From NHS website: There is no need to delay your flu vaccine if you have a minor illness with no fever such as a cold.

Yes, fine. I had mine on Friday. Still getting over the tonsillitis that stated 2 weeeks before.
