How long should I wait to get a flu shot after my COVID-19 vaccine?

Here is what we know so far about the timing of your influenza and COVID-19 vaccines:

• While research is ongoing about the timing of vaccines, Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends that individuals 6 months of age and older receive a flu shot at the same time as their COVID-19 vaccine. Currently, there's no evidence suggesting that getting both vaccines at the same time would affect the efficacy of the flu shot or the COVID-19 vaccine, nor is there a higher risk of side effects.
• Speak to your health care provider if you have concerns about the timing of your vaccinations.
