Depending on why you have a fever, and how high it is, probably not. It is a question the clinician giving the shot will ask. You can call ahead to your doctor or a pharmacist and ask advice before going to get the vaccination.
If you have a fever 101F or over, or have had in the past 2 or 3 days, they will ask you to return after your fever. Temperatures less than that may not prevent you from having the vaccination, again depending on the reason and extent of the fever.
Fevers are an indication that your immune system is working on reacting to a microbe or other foreign organism in your body to eliminate it. While it is busy doing that for one type of organism, having to do it for a second type (the one the vaccine is made from in the flu shot) may be more than it can handle, so that is why they ask you to wait until after a higher fever is gone so you get the proper immune response to both organisms.
