Vaccinating against COVID-19 and influenza at the same time is safe, shows NIHR study, NIHR

Research funded by the NIHR has found that it is safe for people to receive a flu vaccine at the same time as a COVID-19 vaccine. Reported side effects were mainly mild to moderate, and there were no negative impacts on the immune response produced by either vaccine when both were given on the same day, in opposite arms. 97% of the study participants said they would be willing to have two vaccines at the same appointment in the future.
