My son's scheduled for his flu shot tomorrow and has been having a runny nose for a couple days and now has started coughing tonight. My question is she I still get his shot tomorrow or reschedule it?

Question

Answer

Anytime they are showing signs of illness, reschedule. You want them to be perfectly healthy when receiving their shots.

Answer

I would let them be the judge of it honestly. It could be just allergies and he could get the shot still. Or he could be at the start of an illness and the doctors can begin early treatments or tests if needed

Answer

I work in a pharmacy and we won't administer a flu shot if our customer is feeling any bit under the weather!

Answer

Reschedule. You cant get the flu shot while sick

Answer

Whoops, I hit "take him" when I meant to hit "reschedule"!

Answer

Let the provider decide. Sometimes it’s early enough in the cold to do it, sometimes it’s just allergies, and sometimes they push it off for another week or two.
