Should I go in to sixth form with flu/viral infection?

I have a weak immune system and usually have my flu jabs in september, but they're not till october this year. I feel so ill right now and just seem to be getting worse. I have flu/bad virus symptoms such as terrible cold, can't breathe, sore throat, achy and generally feeling really run down. My boyfriend or my mum and sister don't have any illness atm, the only people I've been round are people that go to my school and sixth form.

I started 3 weeks ago and vowed to keep my attendance as high as possible. I have appointments that I can't get out of school time and have to see a stomach specialist soon. I've had an appointment one morning at school off already. I went in today feeling so crap, I'm so much worse now but is it selfish to still go in to sixth form tomorrow like this? I don't want to miss time off sixth form and get behind but at the same time I'm so run down but feel like I need to get through my days. Would you be mad if someone at your sixth form/college went in when they were really ill and possibly had flu?

Damask-

There's no point going in if you feel terrible, just stay home and email your teachers with an apology and ask if they can send you whatever you missed.
