Then he mentioned that the distribution of vaccines will be done centrally, taking into account the at-risk population in the concerned area, and the question was answered as follows:
“Influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations can be given medically or immunologically in or without any time interval, in which case the vaccinations are given in different limbs (one arm, upper arm and the other). If the vaccinator recommends it, the two vaccinations can be given safely over a period ranging from One to two weeks.”
