Flu Shot

[Kmegood]

I was wondering if I have covid can `I still get the flu shot or I have to wait till I am negative.

Shouldn’t you be isolating if positive? I would wait to go out for a shot.

I became negative after 5 days on Paxlovid. Them had a re bound after 8 days and have a faint line on the rapid test

Please stay home as long as you have any contagious illness. So Covid, measles, mumps, influenza, chickenpox, anything that is highly contagious plus higher chance of affecting others severely means please don't go out in public. I personally would add "the common cold" but our society doesn't really do this or consider it a problem since "the common cold" isn't as much of a health threat as some other contagious diseases. IMO if you feel sick, staying in to heal is warranted, even for the common cold. It's more difficult when you don't feel ill. I got chicken pox as an adult in my 30's, and only had minor itching easily controlled by antihistamines. Staying indoors during beautiful fall weather was very difficult & annoying for me!
