- Important point (page 6):
- Can COVID-19 vaccines be given at the same time as influenza or other vaccines?
- Yes. Evidence demonstrates that co-administering (i.e. given at the same time) a COVID-19 vaccine and an influenza vaccine is safe and produces good immune responses to both vaccines.
- COVID-19 vaccines can also be co-administered with other vaccines, such as the pertussis vaccine, if required. There are limited data, however, on using COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as other vaccines.
- It is important to balance the need for co-administration of vaccines with delivering vaccines on separate visits, as there is the potential for an increase in mild to moderate adverse events when more than one vaccine is given at the same time. It can also make it harder to attribute potential adverse events to specific vaccines.
