Yes, you can typically get a flu shot while taking gabapentin. Gabapentin is not known to interact with the flu vaccine or affect its effectiveness. However, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before getting any vaccine while taking medication to ensure there are no specific concerns or contraindications based on your individual health condition.
