Covid Jab / Flu Jab

[Bazile]

Is it ok to have the covid booster Jab and flu Jab at the same time ?

[emmie]

it seems to be ok, a number of people on AB have had both like Dtc and Minty i think?

I had mine a week apart - was told to have them in opposite arms.

I had mine at the same time, one in each arm, no side effects

One of the TV doctors said she gives both in the same arm so that you only get one sore arm.

I had mine on consecutive days (same arm) a couple of weeks ago.
As bhg states, it is better to have only one arm potentially out of action for a while

Same day, different arms, slightly sore arm ( flu). No problems .

I think it depends on the person's state of health. A 94 -yr-old lady, who I visit, had both 'flu and Covid booster jabs on the same day (in different arms). She's in a wheelchair anyway. She has been ill for over 3 weeks and is only now pulling round (a tough old girl!). It certainly wasn't a good idea for her. 2 other (older) people have said that they were poorly for about a week.

If anyone is worrying about having the pneumonia jab at the same time as a 'flu jab, then I can say that I was fine with that. Just an aside.
