My employer just informed us that we need to get our annual flu shots in by the 6th of November. I have an Abdominoplasty scheduled a little over 4 weeks from now. I do get a minor cold whenever I get these shots, so my question is. Would it be safe to get the shot this week or next and be ready for my surgery, or should I wait a week or two after surgery? I would think getting it out of the way beforehand would be best, but I'm clearly no doctor.
