I think you might be having some respiratory problems prior to flu shot. To me, should consult with your physician prior to taking another shot. Plus, you need to report this side effect to him/her in order to take appropriate precautions while deciding if you should take another shot or not.
All the best. Dr.Albana Sejdini
