Simultaneous Administration Of Adjuvant Zoster, Influenza Vaccines Poses No Additional Safety Risks In Older Adults, Study Finds

Healio (10/24, Rhoades) reports, “The simultaneous administration of adjuvant zoster and influenza vaccines posed no additional safety risks in older adults, results from a randomized study showed.” Researchers found that “study participants who received both adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) and quadrivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine during the same visit had similar adverse reaction rates as those who received RZV in tandem with the quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
