Can I Get A COVID (or COVID Booster) and Flu Vaccine at the Same Time? [cCTFTzC1ZdD]
Can I Get A COVID (or COVID Booster) and Flu Vaccine at the Same Time? In this latest video from Denver Health's COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) vaccine safety (what you need to know) video series, Chief Medical Officer and infectious disease specialist Connie Price, MD stresses the importance of getting vaccinated against both COVID-19 and influenza (the flu). Dr. Price said it is safe and effective to get both vaccines (or a flu vaccine and a COVID booster shot (additional dose)) at the same time, but advises getting them in different arms. All COVID-19 and flu vaccines are safe and effective and getting both shots ensures that we avoid a Twindemic, which is having two epidemics happening at the same time. Flu and COVID symptoms can be similar and it's important to have protection against both viruses to avoid hospitalization or serious illness. Denver Health patients can schedule both their flu and COVID-19 vaccines through their MyChart account or by calling 303-436-4949. #stoptheflu #GetVaccinated #boostervaccine #COVID19Vaccine
