Flu Jab And Covid Jap

[Woodside187]

What us the recommended time gap between taking the flu jab and Covid jab.
Many thanks

They are often administered at the same time - one in each arm

There isn’t one Woodside, although I wouldn’t recommend two together as it makes sleeping on either side a bit uncomfortable,I had both mine within I week of each other

[Woodside187]

Thanks for that - I had read of a one week gap which seems to make sense.

No gap, both in the one arm, paracetamol, job done.

I had my 3rd covid jab at the same time as my flu jab, but in different arms. Weirdly, I had two different types of arm ache.

[Rosetta]

had both of mine within 5 days, no problems at all.

never had any arm ache after jabs, doris says it's because i'm sedentary

[Bobbisox1]

Just a bit tender that’s all , I’m on my 5 th one now ;0)

I had mine at the same time last year, so with the booster this hopefully the same, I have being notified that they will contact me
'so no need to book an appointment'. in October which is for me earlier than usual. I had no problems with having them at the same time just the usual armache.

We all had them done at the same time

I had both flu and Covid booster yesterday - so far so good :-)

[roslyn251254]

I had them both on Thursday last...flu arm fine, covid arm a bit sore , but better today.

[perseverer]

Had them done this morning, given the choice, one in each arm or both in the one. Gap between jabs was about 90 seconds!

As i'll be getting mine administered in two different places - walk-in centre and chemist), i'll give it a few days grace in between the two. Couldn't be coping with two aching arms. How would i raise them enough to tap the keys on the horses i wanna back? :-))

[Arksided]

Well respect Ken, That's thinking fourth dimensionally ;-)

Hubby had his one on each arm, with two minutes between and complained all night if I got near him.

I'm not having a flu jab because of the grim experience I had with the over 65 adjucant (sp?) in 2017. I will have the covid one at some time in November.

[MissTerious]

/and complained all night if I got near him/

Probably that was his excuse ;0)

[Woodside187]

Thanks for all your comments - we had differing answers from people at our surgery, one saying we could do it together, another saying you couldn't.

Week before last, I went for my 3rd booster and was offered the flu jab and one for pneumonia. I was assured it was okay to have all three at once. So I had booster jab in one - a bit heavy and achey but bearable and the flu and pneumonia in my other arm and it was so , so painful for 2-3 days. I wouldn't recommend having all three at once.
