Hello Ma'am,
Yes, the COVID19 vaccine can still be given.
The only absolute contraindication in the case of the latter vaccine is an allergic reaction to an mRNA-containing vaccine, which is not the case with flu vaccines.
You will be observed for 30 minutes rather than 15 after the injection.
Happy day :)
Alexander
