Dear creatinine is elevated so consideration of angiography depends on many factors like severity of angina, ejection fraction of LV, Renal status,hydration etc.
Pt will need vaccination only if pt has pronness for lung infection..due to heart failure or low immunity or underlying lung disease..

These vaccines are not for heart
They are for pneumonia and Influenza
Yes your father should be vaccinated in view of his Co morbidities and age
