If you have a fever, no. If no fever, then contact your doctor treating the strep to be sure your body is ready for another immune response to a virus so soon after, or while still, fighting the bacterial infection.

∙ 12y agoUsually a mild cold or other infection is does not preclude getting vaccinated for the flu, as long as you do not have a fever at the time. However, if you are still taking antibiotics for the strep throat bacterial infection, you should check first with the prescriber to be sure it is okay to get a vaccine for a virus at the same time as you are fighting a bacterial infection, or if you should wait until after that infection is totally treated. The doctor may decide either way, it depends on the individual case and how the bacterial infection is responding to the treatment. If you go to the clinician to get the vaccination, they will ask you questions about current infections and medications before giving you the vaccine. They will not give you the vaccine if you have a fever.
