FAQs
- Q. Do I need to leave a gap between having my Flu and Covid booster this year? A. No, there is no medical reason to leave a gap and in some regions across the country they are giving the vaccinations at the same time. However if you have suffered any cold-like symptoms when having previous jabs, it may be best to leave it a few days. But this is a personal choice.
- Q. Can I get my Covid booster at the same time as my Flu vaccine? A. No. The Adam Practice are not providing Covid Boosters. This is being conduced by a centralised vaccination programme and you will be contacted by NHS England separately. The Adam Practice cannot book appointments or amend any bookings.
Best wishes, The Adam Practice.
