Hello Primrose123, I’m on flucloxycillin right now (Bronchiectasis) with a flu jab scheduled for Wednesday. I asked at the surgery and they said hold onto the appointment and make a decision the day before based on how I feel. My antibiotics are due to be finished that morning. I’m also interested in other members views on this just to be sure.

Ah, hope you are feeling better soon. I’m planning on going for mine following the test results indicating no infection. I’ve no idea why my cough is suddenly so much worse if no infection, but that is another matter .....

Thank you for your kind reply Spalding Sparks, I guess that I was just being cautious,& wanted to ensure that it was ok to have flu vaccine whilst on antibiotics,I was advised however to wait until course was finished,which I did do.I suppose we are all different when it comes to various illnesses,what suits 1 patient perhaps may not suit another.. The bottom line was Spalding Sparks I did eventually recieve my flu vaccine & all was well...Happy Christmas to yo Spalding Sparks & I wish you good health & much happiness in the coming year...x
