Flu vaccine / covid booster

[Who2021]

Hello everyone! I am 40 years old and 13 weeks pregnant. I am due for my Covid booster and I have an appointment in 3 days for the flu vaccine, too. Shall I take a break between them? And how much? I had also Covid on 1st of November, I am first time pregnant and really worried.

Thank you very much for any answer

I don’t think you need to leave a gap but maybe mention it when you go to make sure they’re happy.

The hospital told me on Monday I couldn’t get the whooping cough vaccine as my booster appointment was within 7 days. Getting my booster tomorrow and will reschedule my whooping cough for January. Appreciate it’s a different vaccine but I imagine it could be similar advice given.

Hi, I had my booster yesterday and at the walk-in center I was asked if I had flu vaccine in the past 8days. I had it 12days ago so it was fine but they seemed to recommend leaving at least a week’s gap in between. I think they might say something about having had covid quite recently in November as well. Best is to call the midwife or the vaccine center, they should know best
