Frequently asked questions
Influenza Vaccine recommendation
The “universal” recommendation since the 2010-2011 influenza season is that everyone 6 months and older in the United States, with rare exception, should get an influenza (flu) vaccine every season. The protection provided by a flu vaccine varies from season to season and depends in part on the age and health status of the person getting the vaccine and the similarity or “match” between the viruses in the vaccine and those in circulation. The flu vaccine can keep you from getting sick with flu and has been shown in several studies to reduce severity of illness in people who get vaccinated but still get sick.
Co-administration of vaccines
Co-administration of vaccines refers to giving or getting more than one vaccine during a visit. This is common clinical practice. While there are some exceptions, most vaccines can be given at the same visit. Getting a flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine at the same visit is recommended if you are eligible and the timing for each vaccine is right.
