COVID-19 vaccine booster and flu shot: Is it safe to receive both on same day?
Fox News
As the flu season approaches and coincides with millions of Americans newly eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster, with expert backing for boosters developed by Moderna and J&J, many may wonder whether it’s safe to receive both a booster and a flu vaccine in one visit.
"Certainly, if a person has any concerns, they can take them at different times," Dr Aaron Glatt, chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau, told Fox News. "Likewise, there is no reason to wait 14 days [between vaccinations], like it was originally recommended, after getting either vaccination."
What’s more, there’s no current evidence that co-administration will magnify any potential side effects, according to Dr. Fred Davis, associate chair of emergency medicine at Northwell Health on Long Island, who also noted the most common side effect for both involve a sore arm at the injection side.
