Fox News
A new British study has determined it is safe to administer flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time.
The study, which followed 340 participants in randomized trials, found "no safety concerns" from administering both shots and that both vaccines maintained the appropriate immune response, according to a preprint of the study in medical journal The Lancet.
"Most reactions were mild or moderate," the study noted. "Rates of local and unsolicited systemic reactions were similar between randomized groups." The study reported only one "adverse" event that resulted in hospitalization but highlighted that "immune responses were not adversely affected."
