[MCOH-EH] [External] Bivalent Booster with Influenza Vaccine

[Behrman, Amy]

Key question! There are no limitations on timing for the bivalent COVID vaccine booster and all of the others listed in this query. Specifically, CDC recommends following best practices for co-administration of adult vaccines to optimize convenience and coverage. They also specifically recommend offering the bivalent vaccines with influenza vaccines this fall for individuals who are eligible and prefer a single visit.

That said, there may be situations where an interval should be considered specifically between COVID-19 bivalent boosters and Jynneos due to concerns for myocarditis and pericarditis in the overlap target populations.

All,
Does anyone have any information regarding administration or timing of the new bivalent Pfizer booster with all other vaccinations specifically influenza, but others such as MMR, varicella, Tdap, Hepatitis B, and TB skin testing?
Thank you.
