Bend slightly flat, then when you apply some vibrato you'll sound better than bending exactly to pitch and the adding vibrato.
So instead of going slightly sharp (which usually sounds worse than slightly flat) when you add the vibrato, you'll add enough to get exactly to pitch. (Hopefully that made some sense).

A lot of guitarists don't rush into the vibrato. IIRC from an interview with Matthias Jabs many years ago he said he learned about bending and vibrato from copying Clapton - often bending slowly into the note and applying the vibrato after you have hit the note ( ie not wobbling into it).
Having never had great vibrato technique I took succour from a lesson by blues great Ronnie Earl who pretty much said he just bends the string and waggles it as hard as he can.
