Will getting a flu shot interfere with my COVID-19 vaccination?
Health experts agree that it’s fine to get a flu shot if you are vaccinated against COVID-19. It’s even okay to get a flu shot along with a COVID-19 shot.
Who is eligible for a booster shot?
Anyone who has completed their initial vaccine series at least six months ago who:
- Is 65 years of age and older or
