Q&A

Who should get a flu shot? The CDC recommends everyone age 6 months or over get vaccinated against the flu every year, although it’s especially important for people over the age of 65, children, pregnant women, and people with underlying health conditions, since they are more at risk for serious illness and hospitalization form the flu.

Should I wait between the flu shot and a COVID-19 shot? No, the CDC states that you can get those shots as close together as you want, even during the same visit.
