Yes, you can get your flu and COVID-19 shots at the same time. Don’t call them boosters — they’re not just another dose of last year’s protection. The coronavirus and influenza are escape artists that constantly mutate to evade your body’s immune defenses, so both vaccines are reformulated annually to target newer strains.

Note: If you caught covid in this last wave, as I did in August, you should wait 3-6 months for the covid vaccine. This is due to the nature of our bodies immune response.
