Covid Shot and Fle Shot Together - Info from my Doctor [View all]

I recently emailed my Doc to ask if it was ok for me to get the Covid Booster and Flu shot together. The answer I got was that other vaccines should not be taken within 14 days of the Covid shot. This was news to me and not what I have heard elsewhere, so I thought I should pass the information on. Doctors may differ on this so you should check with your own.

Poster #7 below is worth reading because he/she points out that my Doc's advice is different from the CDC and others.
