      Is it important that I get both the flu and COVID-19 vaccines?

      Yes. People with kidney disease are at greater risk for complications that can be related to flu and COVID-19.* The viruses that cause the flu and COVID-19 may be spreading at the same time, and it’s possible to test positive for both at once.

      Fresenius Kidney Care offers flu shots

      Can I get the flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time?

      Yes. COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines may now be given on the same day.*

      Can I get sick from the vaccines?

      No. The vaccines will not give you the flu or COVID-19. However, after getting vaccinated, you may experience some mild side effects.

      Will a flu vaccine protect me against COVID-19?

      No. Getting the flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19. The vaccines are developed to train your body to fight the specific virus, so it’s important to get both vaccines.


      Stay healthy this flu season

      In addition to getting your flu and COVID-19 vaccines, here are some simple tips to help you and your family stay flu‑free:

      1. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol‑based hand sanitizer.
      2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
      3. Wear a mask during dialysis and while in public.
      4. Practice social distancing. Avoid crowds and contact with sick people.
      5. Practice good health.
      6. Prevent the spread of germs. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or cover your nose and mouth with a tissue.
