People can get inoculated against Covid-19 and seasonal influenza at the same time without compromising the vaccines' effectiveness, a World Health Organisation (WHO) official has said, according to Reuters.

"Anybody can get both the vaccines together — there is no decrease in [the] effectiveness of either of the vaccines when given together at one point of time," Siddhartha Datta, the WHO Europe's regional adviser for vaccines, told a news briefing.
