Can I have COVID-19, flu and other vaccines at the same time?
Yes. COVID-19 vaccines can be administered at any time in relation to other non-COVID-19 vaccines; and if needed, can be administered on the same day as other vaccines.
Recent studies have looked at people who received the COVID-19 vaccine and influenza vaccine at the same time. These studies found no safety concerns; and showed similar immune responses between people who received the vaccines at the same time, and those who received them separately.
It is unknown if side effects are more frequent or more intense with co-administration on the same day,
Even though there is no evidence of any safety concerns, it may make attribution of any adverse events more difficult.
Getting the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccines is safe, means fewer vaccine appointments, and ensures you or your child are protected sooner.
Summary
Can I have COVID-19, flu and other vaccines at the same time? Yes, there is no known extra risk.
