CDC Recommends Everyone Getting Flu and COVID-19 Shots Together Despite No Safety Data

by Robert Kogon
2 October 2023 11:07 AM

The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending for everyone six months of age and older to get vaccinated against both flu and COVID-19 this autumn, and in a new ‘Check-In with Dr. Cohen‘ video, CDC Director Mandy Cohen even suggests you can make life simple and get the shots at the same time. See the below screen shot.

Mandy Cohen: “You can also get your COVID-19 vaccine at the same time.”

In a would-be humorous ad featuring American football star Travis Kelce on doing ‘Two Things At Once‘, Pfizer is likewise promoting the idea of topping up the annual flu shot with a COVID-19 shot.

Note that the ad contains a caption which states, “The CDC recommends getting your COVID and FLU SHOTS at the same visit if you’re due for both” (capitalisation in original). See below.

But is it safe to get the Covid and flu shots at the same time?

Well, neither the CDC nor the manufacturer know. An August 30th BioNTech press release on the EU’s authorisation of Pfizer and BioNTech’s “XBB.1.5-adapted” COVID-19 vaccine includes the following paragraph in the ‘Important Safety Information’ section.

Interactions with other medicinal products or concomitant administration of COMIRNATY, COMIRNATY Original/Omicron BA.1 or COMIRNATY Original/Omicron BA.4-5 with other vaccines has not been studied.

Apparently, this is “important safety information” which has not reached Mandy Cohen and the CDC.
