Depends: Talk to you doctor, or explain the rash here on health tap with more detail. Some reactions mean you should not get certain vaccines. Other reactions may mean you need to bake some Ibuprofen and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) before the vaccine (or other meds depending). Let us know exactly what you reactions were.

I had the worst Acid Reflux I had ever had last week & I even had to go to Urgent Care. Just curious, approx. 1 1/2 or 2 weeks before the flare-up I received Flu & Tdap shots on the same day. Could those vaccines have caused the flare-up of my GERD?

Can I get TDAP and Flu vaccines at same time? Is there any issue with doing this? Or would it be better to space them? Are they completely safe?

A member asked:

Recently read in Pubmed and others that MMR, Tdap, Prevnar and Shingrix all offer a 32 to 38% reduction in hospitalization and severe outcomes from Covid 19. Is this true and would there be a stronger combined effect if current on all ?
