It's your decision but it's possible your dysphoria could return or you might experience shark week depending on your dosage and body state. It also may take a few weeks for your levels to reach the level they are now as levels are somewhat accusative. Other than that, it shouldn't be harmful.

Well I am 3 months on T as of today and I am only on 0.25ml and I think shark week is done for so far. I only ask because of the bacteria and everything from the flu

Influenza is a virus, your body is already infected with it, and you are (hopefully) sterilizing the vial and injection site anyway. As long as you're lucid and coordinated enough to do the injection safely, you're in no more danger than usual.

Waiting a few days won't be dangerous either, but there's a good chance it could make you feel (even more) exhausted and moody as your T levels sink below what you're used to. If you can manage to get out of bed and do the injection, it'll probably be more comfortable in the long run. Trading a few minutes of unpleasantness for a few days worth, basically.
