Flu sots can be taken from nearby healthcare facility

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Flu shots keep changing for every year due to changing strain of virus. Flu shots for this year have become available in the month of November, 2019. However you can check your nearby facility for flu shots. They may ask you to buy them from a pharmacy.
Flu shots work before the start of flu. If cold and fever are already there, you may take other appropriate measures like warm fluids, paracetamol and anti-allergic medicines for the same. Most common colds resolve on their own.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
