Flu jab - how soon after heart attack?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Three weeks ago I had a mild heart attack. I also had pneumonia at the same time.

Will I be able to have the flu jab this year & how long after my heart attack?

At the moment I am not feeling very well due to my chesty pneumonia cough.

Also would it be a good idea to have the pneumonia jab?

    your best bet would be to ask your doctor about this. You may get peoples opinions on this site but they may not be accurate for your situation. talk to your cardiologist. I hope you feel better soon And take care.
