Flu jab and Thyroid blood tests

Hi,

My wife's having her flu jab this evening and a Medichecks blood draw tomorrow at 8. Is this wise; will the flu jab affect the efficacy of the blood tests?

Thanks,

Decant

Personally I would wait to do Medichecks test …or postpone flu jab until after

Thanks, unfortunately neither can be delayed. Hopefully the results will still be meaningful.
