Yes! While we always recommend you talk to your child’s healthcare provider first, children can safely receive their first, second, or booster doses of the Covid-19 vaccine at the same time as they get their flu vaccine.
Here are some reasons why:
- It’s common for children to get multiple vaccines at once.
- We have so much data about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, there is no reason to only get that one shot alone in case of side effects because they are rare.
- Data also supports safety in the co-administration of both vaccines on the same day.
