Getting a flu vaccine and a Covid vaccine at the same time 

​

Getting both flu and Covid vaccines in one visit, or co-administration, is common clinical practice and is more convenient for people.  

​

It enables people to get up to date in just one visit without the need for arranging second appointments. 

It is suggested that the vaccines are given in each arm – so one in the left and the other in the right. 

 

Studies conducted throughout the Covid-19 pandemic indicate it is safe to get a flu and Covid vaccine at the same visit. Some people might experience vaccine side effects such as fatigue, headache and muscle pain, but these reactions are typically mild and go away quickly.
