None. If you are already sick with the flu, a flu shot for that type of flu will not help you. It is a vaccine to preventthe specific viral infection, not a cure or treatment.
However, since the seasonal flu vaccination in the US is trivalent (contains vaccine for 3 different types of flu), it is still good to get the vaccination even if you have already become sick with one of the types of flu in the vaccine, you still need the vaccine to prevent the other two types. And the type you have may not even be one of the three in the vaccine at all.
You can get the vaccination as long as you do not have a fever. But waiting until you are completely over the current infection is a good idea, so you can rest in bed to get over the infection as quickly as possible, and so you don't pass it on to someone else while you are out in public.

Are flu shots a government conspiracy?
They are not a conspiracy in any negative way. The government does want citizens to take the flu shots, so they don't get sick with the flu. The flu kills, and also has economic impacts when workers are off sick and production goes down. There are good reasons to want people to take flu shots, which only help your body do what it would normally do anyway, except the vaccinations do it without making you sick in the process of creating the immunity.
Do flu shots contain live bacteria?
No, there is no live bacteria in flu shots. Flu shots are to prevent the flu which is caused by a virus, not bacteria. The various flu vaccines contain pieces of viruses that are treated to be able to give you immunization, but not make you sick from the virus contained in the vaccination. The flu shots contain inert ("dead") viruses or pieces of viruses instead of whole particles. The flu mist used in the nasal vaccination is made with active ("live") but weakened viruses that can not make you sick if you have an otherwise healthy body and immune system.
