Getting flu and COVID shot together still reasonable amid safety review of potential stroke risk: Experts

Thu, 2023-10-26 09:31 — mike kraft
COVID shot together still reasonable amid safety review of potential stroke risk: Experts Older adults who received last year’s COVID booster and a high-dose version of the flu vaccine in the same visit may have a potential increased risk of stroke, according to a new FDA-funded study. Experts urged that the results were preliminary and may be explained by other factors such as the fact that older adults are already at a higher risk for stroke due to their age. "There is no need for panic, and emphatically no need to stop giving COVID and flu shots at the same time to older adults," said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, while he reiterated that more research is needed.
