Have flu jab this afternoon. Had Covid jab last week. Full of cold, blocked nose, sore throat and cough feel horrible :( have flu jab this afternoon. Looked online and seems you can have if you don't have a temperature. Does this sound correct? I tried to ring them yesterday but not able to contact on a weekend to check 🙈

Yes, as long as you’ve not got a fever. But if you’re taking paracetamol you might be disguising a fever. IMO if you’re eating normally, going about your normal day, and not needing painkillers, I’d say you’re fine to have it.

Wait until you are well OP. Yes you can have it if no fever but I would think best to give your body time to recover first.

I'm taking the painkillers for my throat pain but no temp still. I can't seem to find a spot at local pharmacy so think I'll have to risk it :(
