I was just sick — should I wait before getting the flu shot?
You can usually get the flu shot once you're feeling better and no longer have a fever. For mild illnesses like a cold, it's typically safe to receive the vaccine. If you're unsure, consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider before booking.

Can I get my COVID-19 shot at the same time?
Yes, it is safe and convenient to receive both vaccines in the same visit. Just let us know when you book or arrive.
Will the shot give me the flu?
No. The flu shot contains inactive virus and cannot cause the flu. Some patients may experience a sore arm or mild achiness, which is just a sign your immune system is working.
