Is it serious to have the flu vaccine appointment on the same day as my measles vaccine appointment?

It is generally recommended to wait about 4 to 5 days between receiving two major vaccines, such as the measles and flu vaccines. The flu vaccine is usually given on its own to reduce the risk of adverse reactions, whether you are pregnant or not. If you are unsure about which measles vaccine you will receive or where you will receive the injections, it is best to contact the Women's Health Center at Chicoutimi Hospital for more information.
