Flu Shot and Lifting

So tomorrow I was planning on switching from the break in routine of NROL to hypertrophy 1. However, tomorrow is the last day my school is offering flu shots, and I figure thats a good thing to get at college living in such close quarters to so many people. The problem is my friends can only go at 12 tomorrow, and I was planning on lifting after that. My question is do you think I can lift after getting the flu shot, or should I skip the workout tomorrow?
 
For sure you can lift! Just make sure you get enough sleep the night before and after a flu shot, it helps keep the immune system up so you get a nice humoral response.
 
I just lifted after my flu shot. It's not like giving blood or anything. You won't even notice.
 
You can lift, just understand that the flu shot can make you feel ill for a couple days. So if you feel ill take it easy so your body can get over it and feel better so you're not out for longer than you would have been had you taken it easily.
