With the start of the winter season, respiratory diseases such as: Corona virus and influenza spread, and obtaining the vaccine is necessary for prevention, but some may wonder: Can I get the vaccine? Booster dose of Corona vaccines With the influenza vaccine at the same time or not? This is what we learn the answer to in the following lines.
Booster doses of the Corona vaccine are available in Egypt at serum and vaccine centers nationwide, and it is also possible to obtain the seasonal influenza vaccine, which is also available to suit the new strains of influenza.
According to the “today” website, Dr. William Werble, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins University in America, said that getting the influenza and Corona vaccine at the same time does not cause any problem, and does not cause any serious side effects.
He explained that side effects following receiving the two vaccines are possible and can be annoying for only a day or two.
For some people, getting an updated coronavirus booster shot is especially necessary. For people with certain chronic health problems, such as diabetes, obesity, lung, heart, liver, or kidney disease, they should definitely get the booster coronavirus vaccine.
In addition, older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women are also more likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms and should get a booster shot as well.
Should healthy young people get the updated dose of the Corona vaccine?
The latest recommendation from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is that everyone who is at least 6 months old should get an updated coronavirus vaccine to protect them during the fall and winter. This includes low-risk individuals who have received previous coronavirus vaccine doses.
