Filipche: Seasonal flu and COVID-19 shots can be administered at same time
Skopje, 12 November 2021 (MIA) – The seasonal flu and COVID-19 shots can be administered at the same time. The time between receiving the two shots, if not simultaneous, doesn’t matter, Minister of Health Venko Filipche said on Friday. Seasonal flu vaccination, Filipche underlined, is taking place in public health centers and other healthcare facilities, adding that flu and COVID-19 jabs are administered at different sites. “In that regard, 4,300 vaccination appointments were set up Friday at 18 sites across the country. I expect the vaccination process to be completed within 10 days,” Filipche told reporters following an event marking World Diabetes Day.
