How soon can I get a flu jab after being ill with covid?

I'm currently ill with covid but already had a flu jab booked. Wondering whether I should rebook for a certain time after I've recovered or something? Thanks

I think you probably need to ask who ever is giving it.
Last year when we had covid we had to cancel and rebook two weeks after and then only if we were well (ds had his at two weeks think I was 4 weeks). However I know of someone who was told 48 hours clear so I think it will depend on who's giving it you. Don't forget as well that year on year they'll have more research and adapt the parameters so what happened last year may not be relevant this year.

They used to advise waiting 4 weeks after having covid to get the covid vaccine, but even that has gone now and appears to be in-line with flu and other vaccines.

They say don't go if ill or infectious with a virus but can go as soon as recovered.

Ah ok, so it sounds like there's no set time to wait
