It's not in the same family of viruses at all, flu is influenza, covid-19 is a coronavirus, the two are nothing alike outside of the respiratory symptoms. Most of the vaccines they are working on aren't your typical vaccines either, they are using mRNA to get your cells to create their own antibodies (rather than injecting you with weakened or dead virus like most typical vaccines.). So, I wouldn't assume that you can't get it. However, if you truly can't get and UA's doctor agrees, I doubt there'd be any issue for you. Now there will be some antivaxxers that don't want to get it and make themselves a homemade certificate against government invention and that's a different story entirely...
