FLU AND COVID BOOSTER VACCINATION PROGRAM 2021/2022
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have advised that early evidence supports the co-administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines used in the UK where appropriate. However clinical studies are still currently underway investigating the safety and efficacy of receiving both the flu and COVID vaccine in the same appointment (co-administration one in each arm) and many of these studies are not due to report for some weeks.
The Southwest Primary Care Network (PCN) have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of offering the flu jab first and then the Covid Booster later once final advice becomes available OR waiting for Government guidance and offering both the Covid Booster and the Flu jabs together and a decision has been made to go ahead and start offering flu vaccinations first and then offer co-administered flu and Covid booster jabs as and when final guidance is available.
