Flu shot side effect vs covid-19

Medical Q&A [Moderated]

howdy,

I have asthma, yesterday I got a flu shot, today I am with shortness of breath along side with other symptoms of flu and some low fever(it is sore in the area too). Here in my state we have community transmission of covid 19, plus the same day I took the flu shot, one of my coworkers was diagnosed with covid-19

I dont want to go to hospital beacause, if isnt covid, I can get covid there, since I am not well already. If it is covid, I can get other stuff there, like pneumonia. I am balancing the cost and benefit, since I have shortness of breath, but still not much. I am not fine, but I am not the bad, like I said before I have asthma, risk group, I am kind used to it, some flu’s that I had in the past, got me with shotness of breath.

Should I stay or should I go? haha

We cannot evaluate/assess you over an Internet forum post, so this is not an appropriate question for the forum. If you are having these symptoms in the setting of a known exposure, we would get evaluated.
