Can I Get Flu Shot While Taking Tamiflu?
I am taking tamiflu as a prophylaxis (daughter had H1N1 flu). I have not had the flu shot. Can I get the shot while taking tamiflu? My son had a flue shot tow days ago - should he take tamiflu now, or wait 10 -1 4 days while antibodies have built up?

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
You can have flu shots while having on tamiflu. There is no risk in it.
Your son should take tamiflu if he was in contact with your daughter because shots take time.
Thanks for contacting us.
Take care...
