Yet Another Flu Shot Question

Hello -

This is the first year I've had allergy shots.  I'm scheduled for allergy
shots today, and flu shot tomorrow.  I really don't want to put the flu shot
off - who knows if they'll have any vaccine left next week!   I'm going to
ask the shot clinic nurse about this, but I thought I'd ask folks here as
well, since you've probably got more RL experience - is there a problem with
taking the flu shot so close to allergy shots?  Fortunately I don't have an
egg or chicken allergy, I'm just wondering about immune system load and
whether I'll end up feeling awful.

Thanks,

Katherine

It shouldn't be a problem.

I often get the flu shot from my allergist, so I get it at the same time that I
get my allergy shots. Never had a problem with this.
