In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of vaccination against the virus has been widely emphasized. However, as flu season approaches, many are wondering whether they can receive both the corona and flu vaccinations at the same time. The German Medical Association has stated that it is indeed possible to receive both vaccinations on the same day, but with a few precautions.
As of November 2023, there is no combination preparation for the corona and flu vaccines, but they can be administered separately on the same day. It is important to note that a different arm should be used for each vaccine. Additionally, individuals are advised to consult with their family doctor before receiving the vaccinations and to follow their recommendations. Any acute illnesses or previous health conditions should also be taken into account before getting vaccinated.
The Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) recommends the vaccinations for individuals with previous health problems, those over 60 years old, and those in care facilities. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals to consider their own health status and consult with their healthcare provider before making a decision.
The combination of corona and flu vaccinations is seen as beneficial for certain groups of people, as it offers protection against severe cases of both viruses. By receiving both vaccinations, individuals can take important steps to safeguard their health and reduce the risk of illness during flu season and the ongoing pandemic.]
