Persons simultaneously receiving CoVid boosters with the Moderna mRNA vaccine and the high dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine developed the same robust immune responses to the vaccines as those receiving only one vaccine at a time and showed no evidence of increased adverse reactions to the piggy-backed vaccinations. This the data from an ongoing Phase 2 multicenter trial sponsored by vaccine maker Sanofi-Pasteur.

A total of 296 persons were divided intro 3 experimental groups: 100 received the Moderna and Flu vaccines together; 104 the Moderna booster only; and 92 the high dose flu vaccine only. Antibody titers against CoVid increased to similar levels whether or not the participant also received the flu shot. Antibody titers against the 4 influenza strains increased to similar levels whether or not a CoVid shot was administered at the same time. There were no differences in side effects when vaccines were given at same time.

Now is the time for you to get your annual flu shot. If it’s been 6 months since your second dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or 2 months since your J&J shot, its time for a booster. The good news is that you can get them both at the same time.
