Flu and Covid vaccination at the same time

Richard8927

I have been offered to have my flu and vaccination at the same time. I am wondering if anyone has experienced issues if doing this . Am i best to have a weeks gap between them which I did last year

I had both together, and in the same arm, about 2 weeks ago. The next day I felt a bit achy and this lasted for a couple of days. Nothing out of the ordinary.

In future I'll take this option if I'm offered it.

I have had both together, one in each arm, for the last couple of years with no ill effects.

Mine was the opposite. The covid jab area was inflamed and sore for several days but no reaction to the flu jab. I felt rough the day after too but that was most likely because I slept badly because I like to sleep on the sore arm side.

You really need to ask advice from your GP surgery.
