- covid+flu coadministration in 2024 ?In Ask the ProvidersJuly 9, 2024How wonderful that you are planning ahead to keep your family healthy and safe for this winter's sick season. And YES! The CDC and the AAP are still recommending both flu and COVID vaccines for people over the age of 6 mos for this fall. As far as when they may be ready and available at your local office/pharmacy/health department- that's still to de determined. Currently at our office we do not have dates on arrival of either of these vaccines for our patients. Previous years we generally have a better idea by the beginning of September. And perhaps by that time you can call your medical home office and ask if they have any estimates. I'll link the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) release from last month concerning recommendations for COVID and flu vaccine for this fall. https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/29373/CDC-recommends-updated-COVID-19-vaccines-for I know that doesn't give you a specific answer to your question, but that is as good as is available for now. However with the current recommendations-it's a good guess that you will likely be able to get both vaccines at the same time this fall. Alissa11
- covid+flu coadministration in 2024 ?In Ask the Providers·July 5, 2024I'm starting to see and hear quite a bit for this fall's covid and flu recommendations. Flu appears to be ready on a similar schedule as in years past, but everything I've seen w COVID still appears date of availability TBA but everyone 6-months and older still need a booster. I have preferred (to date) to get the shots at the same time, not just for me and my husband, but for our twin almost two year olds. Is this still the go-to recommendation for this year's boosters, and/or does anyone have stronger insights on when this fall's COVID shots might be ready exactly?0235
