A member asked:
Did they put a covid booster inside the flu shot this year or do you have to get a covid booster shot vaccine too?

booster is still a separate shot- hence the name

Trying to combine vaccines or boosters takes added research time and clinical trials. They must be sure the combination will work and the components do not interfere with the success of any of each other. This research has not been done to date and thus both are separate.

These are still two separate shots. It is a good idea to get both as and when available. Wish you good health!
