Covid-19: Can I get the Covid vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?
Unsure whether you can get the Covid-19 vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?
Here's your answer neighbours:
People wanting to get both the flu jab and a Covid-19 vaccine heading into winter will be required to leave a two-week gap between the vaccines.
And those receiving a measles (MMR) booster will need to leave a four-week gap between the Pfizer vaccine and the MMR jab when MMR is given first, under advice from the Ministry of Health.
This is because having a gap between different types of vaccinations – especially considering the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine is still “relatively new” – helps authorities be sure about any side effects that may occur.
The country’s flu and Covid-19 vaccine roll-outs are both due to ramp up from May, with the influenza vaccine becoming available to under 65s, and the Covid-19 vaccine rolling out to approximately 1.7 million people in group 3.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
