COVID-19 and the flu both have similar symptoms, such as getting a fever, sore throat or feeling tired. However they are caused by different viruses.
This means that it’s important to get vaccinated against both COVID-19 and the flu. The COVID-19 vaccine won’t protect you from the flu, and the flu vaccine won’t protect you from COVID-19.
You need to wait at least 7 days between getting your COVID-19 vaccine and your flu vaccine. It doesn’t matter what order you have them in. Talk to your health care provider about what is best for you.
