If you are fighting an active bacterial infection like an abscessed tooth, usually the flu shot is not given so that the immune system isn't overly stressed by trying to deal with an infection of bacterial organisms at the same time as an infection of viral organisms. If you are still in the acute phase of the infection and taking antibiotics, you should check with the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics to find out if it is okay to get the flu vaccination. Usually the clinician at the location where you will be getting the vaccine will ask if you have recently had a fever (a sign that the immune system is fighting something already). If you have not, even if on antibiotics, they can go ahead and give the vaccination, however, it is best to consult with your own doctor in advance to determine if the time is right for you to get your seasonal flu vaccination while fighting a known infection.
