Mepolizumab and flu injection

Does anyone know if you need to have any set time between having these injections or if you can have them in the same week?

Pretty sure when I was on mepo I was advised to get it 1/2 way between doses (ie 2 weeks after/before). It’s worth giving your team a call tho just to double check (just had to do that for benra and was told can get it whenever)

Hope that helps

I had my flu jab 24th Sept and my Mep on 4th Oct without any problems. I have had my jabs in the same week previously.

Call your pharmacy. They know all that stuff. 😀 By the way, here in the States we’re already having cases of the flu, and even deaths.
