Updated ATAGI advice on administering seasonal influenza vaccines in 2021

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation has issued updated advice on the relative timing of administering influenza vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines in 2021.

The preferred minimum interval between a dose of influenza vaccine and a dose of either Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty) vaccine or Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is now 7 days (previously 14 days).

In some situations a shorter interval (including co-administration) is acceptable.
