“A top official at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is suggesting people space out vaccines for COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial (RSV).
“I have to be an honest person and say that some people are saying, ‘well, could I get RSV, COVID, and the flu vaccine on the same day?’ Yes, indeed, you could,” Dr. Peter Marks, the official, said. “But honestly, I might not just because each of them can potentially make one a little fatigued or have a little bit of a fever. And I might just want to space them out a little bit.”
He added later, “Oftentimes, we suggest if you want to minimize the chance of interactions and minimize confusing side effects from one with another, you wait about two weeks between the vaccines.”
