Health: the flu vaccine and the one against Covid-19 are compatible – Franceinfo

The flu vaccine campaign begins. Unlike last year, another vaccine is making the news this time around: the one against Covid-19. Can we do both at the same time, however? Yes ! “It is interesting for several reasons, first of all because it is effective“, says doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present Tuesday September 28 on the set of the 20 Hours newspaper.

Indeed, current studies are encouraging. “We saw in an English study, which has not yet been published, that we maintained very good efficacy both against the Covid and against the flu“, reports Damien Mascret. Good news therefore for those who are concerned, d‘more so, that according to the doctor, “both vaccines are well tolerant“.
