Dear MEL Topic Readers,
You can get Covid-19 and flu vaccines at the same time, but should you?
As winter approaches in the northern hemisphere, people live and work in
a more closed environment. Then the air is dryer inside and even outdoors. Yes,
the flu season is coming. Also, COVID-19 is still out there with new variants
like HV.1 and EG.5. So, if you’re getting those vaccines, should you get them on
different days or on the same day? Studies have found there seems to be no
significant difference in antibody levels between different-day shots and
same-day shots. Also, after-shot temporary reactions, such as fatigue,
headache, fever, and muscle pain are nearly the same. It rather depends on the
person. Then the question is whether you go to the clinic once or twice. Would
you risk exposing yourself to an environment where there could be other
patients with cold, the flu, or COVID-19 twice? Would you experience after-shot
reactions twice? Furthermore, would you like to make just one visit or two visits?
Read the article and learn about how two vaccines could be taken before
the flu season.
