The flu season is here again and during the COVID-19 pandemic, can someone get both vaccines at the same time?

Greene County Public Health Director Becky Wolf says you can.

“Studies have determined that we can give other vaccines, including the flu vaccine, at the same time as the COVID vaccine. It is not going to hurt you. It’s not different from us giving multiple vaccines to our kiddos when they come in. So there’s no problem there.”

Wolf adds they are planning to not only provide flu shots but also COVID-19 vaccines during the various community flu shot clinics this year. Wolf notes the flu vaccine is now available at public health, as well as other providers, including area pharmacies and your medical provider.
