Israeli researchers say getting the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as the flu vaccine offers almost the same protection as getting the COVID vaccine alone.
People who received both shots had only a slightly lower antibody response than people who received just the COVID vaccine, says the study published in. Additionally, people who got both shots reported almost the same number of adverse reactions as people who got only the COVID vaccine.
Health care workers at the Sheba Medical Center in Israel received Abbott's four-strain influenza vaccine, the bivalent COVID-19 booster from Pfizer/BioNTech, or both vaccines from September 2022 to January 2023. Participants who got both vaccines received one in each arm. COVID-fighting antibodies were measured as being only .84 times lower in people who got both shots than people who got the COVID shot only, the study said. None of the study participants got COVID in the two months after getting the vaccines.
