Can a child with flu do the covid vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best to wait until the child is over their illness with flu/other infectious disease.Once they are better,COVID-19 vaccine is available, safe, and found to be effective for children 6 months and older and adults.In the US, it is emergency use authorized for 6 months and up and fully authorized for 16 years of age and up. I encourage everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated and boosted (July 2022)
