The flu and Covid shots were often given together last fall and seemed to work well.

The new Covid outlook is that only one shot per year is now necessary.

The older you are the sooner you want to get immunized, recommending September and October, since flu outbreaks are coming a couple of months earlier; last year and before, the height of flu was in Jan and Feb.

And the C.D.C. is expected to make recommendations on administration of the vaccines together in the coming weeks.
