Can I get 3rd dose hepatitis vaccine while on azithromycin antibiotic?
You should wait some time after stopping azithromycin before receiving immunizations. When studied, azithromycin inhibits the ability of the immune system to build a lasting response to vaccines, probably by altering the activity of macrophages and other antigen presenting cells and the expressions of cytokines, including TNF-alpha. See "Azithromycin Modulates Murine Immune Responses to Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine and Inhibits Nasal Clearance of Bacteria" While this is a different vaccine, it's reasonable to at least extrapolate that there may be a need for caution in coadministration of azithromycin and vaccines. Azithromycin has a long half life in the body - almost 3 days - so you should give it some time before receiving the vaccine, I'd guess 2 weeks minimum, although it depends on your dosage and how long you've been taking the medication.
How do you get a vaccine without getting the disease?
a vaccine gives you a small amount of live and dead bacteria or things of the virus so your body can build up a natural immunity to that disease

What is attenuated flu vaccine?
Attenuated simply means "weakened". An attenuated flu vaccine refers to vaccines made with live viruses (so you get a good immune response), but they have been weakened chemically so that they are unable to give you the flu. There are two types of flu vaccines available in the US. What is called inactivated, inactive or "dead" vaccine and what is called "live", weakened/attenuated vaccine. The injectable vaccines (intradermal and intramuscular) are made with "dead" viruses and the nasal spray is made with "live" attenuated viruses.
