How 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. Alissa

Hello! I am a pediatric nurse practitioner and lactation consultant working in the Eastern Kentucky and Tri-State area for 20 years. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, running, weightlifting, cooking, and baking. I have also two teenage sons who keep me busy. I am proud to say that myself and my family are fully vaccinated. I hope I can be helpful in answering your vaccination questions and easing any concerns you may have regarding vaccines.
