I personally would NOT get a flu shot. Not because I fear spread so much as I know my immune system is weakened already and in a flu shot you are actually being exposed to the virus itself, thus increasing the chances/risk that you could end up with it after the injection. In this case (at least for me) the benefit does not outweigh the risk.
