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. If in doubt, always contact your doctor's office and ask a nurse or the doctor there who knows your medical history what you should do. 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.

Should a 27 year old woman who has 102.8 F temperature after she received a vaccination for regular flu one week ago a see physician immediately?
That is a high fever, it would be wise to contact a doctor to see if you need an appointment for an examination. A reaction to a vaccination would not cause a temperature that high. And it takes about two weeks for immunity to develop after a flu shot, so there is a possibility of the flu, either the type that the vaccine was for or another type of flu. Better safe than sorry. Take some Acetaminophen. If this does not bring your fever down to 101o, call and speak to your doctors' nuse or the ER nurse. Do NOT take aspirin. The nurse will advise you if you need further evaluation.
If you are allergic to a lot of antibiotics should you get the H1N1 vaccine?
I just had the vaccination and the only thing the nurse asked me was if I am allergic to eggs (I'm not). As I understand it, flu vaccines are made from chicken eggs so this is a standard question. I am allergic to lots of things actually - including dust, pollen, some fruit and penicillin and I've had many seasonal flu vaccines over the years with no reactions. Just ask your doctor or nurse if you are concerned about an allergic reaction.
