Legal, as it is a prescription. But whether it's allowed by the rules of the hospital is something that you'll have to ask your supervisor.

Can you get the flu shot if you are taking a narcotic?

As long as the reason you take the narcotic would, by itself, not cause a problem with getting a flu shot.

Or before you get the shot, tell the nurse giving it about your condition and they can decide if it is a good thing to get it then.
