There have been a number of studies on the safety of administration of multiple vaccines at the same time, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Based on the evidence above, where patients in an eligible group present having recently received one or more vaccine, COVID-19 vaccination should still be given. The same applies for other vaccines where COVID-19 vaccination has been received first or where a patient presents requiring two or more vaccines.
It is generally better for vaccination to proceed to avoid any further delay in protection and to avoid the risk of the patient not returning for a later appointment.
- This includes but is not limited to vaccines commonly administered around the same time such as pneumonia vaccines, shingles and flu.
