Covid-19: Can I get the Covid vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Unsure whether you can get the Covid-19 vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?

Here's your answer neighbours:

People wanting to get both the flu jab and a Covid-19 vaccine heading into winter will be required to leave a two-week gap between the vaccines.

And those receiving a measles (MMR) booster will need to leave a four-week gap between the Pfizer vaccine and the MMR jab when MMR is given first, under advice from the Ministry of Health.

This is because having a gap between different types of vaccinations – especially considering the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine is still “relatively new” – helps authorities be sure about any side effects that may occur.

The country’s flu and Covid-19 vaccine roll-outs are both due to ramp up from May, with the influenza vaccine becoming available to under 65s, and the Covid-19 vaccine rolling out to approximately 1.7 million people in group 3.

Someone knows these cats?

Penny Zhang from Half Moon Bay

Hi neighbors , we found two cats wandering around near Sunderlands Road. Does anyone know who they belong to? They look a bit dirty and hungry, so we’re a little concerned about them. Please let us know if they are yours or if you recognize them. Thank you!
