The CDC recommends people get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible and get a flu shot by the end of October.
"Vaccines save lives and it's safe to receive both your COVID vaccine and flu shot at the same time," said Dr. Wilma J. Wooten, county public health officer."The vaccines are effective and everyone who is eligible should get vaccinated to avoid getting sick and spreading viruses to others."
Both vaccines can be administered during the same visit and it is not recommended to delay either shot, Wooten said. The Pfizer/BioNTech bivalent COVID booster is available for anyone age 12 and older. Bivalent boosters have not yet been authorized for children under the age of 12. Youths in that age group can get boosted with the previous version of the monovalent Pfizer vaccine.The number of people in San Diego County hospitalized with COVID-19 decreased by 21 to 180, according to the latest state data.
Close to 2.68 million or 80.1% of San Diegans received the primary series of one of the approved COVID-19 vaccines and are considered fully vaccinated. A total of 1,449,230 or 58.9% of 2,460,402 eligible San Diegans have received a booster.
