FAQs

Did our office members get their COVID vaccinations?

Yes, we have all been fully vaccinated and boosted!

Should I get COVID boosters?

We do recommend that our patients stay up to date with their vaccine per the CDC recommendations.

Should I get the Influenza (flu) shot at the same time as the COVID booster?

The CDC states that you can get both at the same time but there are pros and cons to doing this. We recommend that, if possible, there should be 2 weeks in between the flu shot and the COVID shot. If you think you will not be able to do this then get both shots at the same time in different arms.

What about Myocarditis and Pericarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination (Pfizer, Moderna)

Should I take anti-inflammatories (Ibuprofen, Advil) or Tylenol (Acetaminophen) before I get the vaccine?

No—there is some data that anti-inflammatories may affect the way the vaccine works and give you less immunity so do not take either of these types of medications. It’s unclear if Acetaminophen is a problem. After the vaccine, if you need to take something, take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) only and as little as possible.
