Can you get the flu shot when wheezing?
It is usually good to not bombard your immune system with too many things at once, so it is commonly recommended that you not get a flu shot if you have a fever. The fever indicates that your body is already fighting something, and then it is best to wait until your are fever-free to get the vaccination. If you don't have a fever, then you can probably get the vaccination, but tell the clinician who will be giving you the vaccination about your breathing symptoms and they will decide if there is any reason not to give it to you. If your wheezing is severe or you have not yet had it evaluated by a physician, it might be better to also wait to get the flu shot until after you have consulted with a health care professional about the wheeze and then to also ask about getting a flu shot.
Can you get the flu shot if you feel a little under the weather?

Can you get H1N1 flu shot if you have a cold?
Most people can, because most people don't get a fever from a cold. If you have a fever, you should not get a flu shot, but if you only have a mild cold without fever, it is okay to go ahead and get the vaccination, if you are an otherwise healthy person.

Can you get an H1N1 shot with a fever?
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.
