Pfizer and BioNTech announced it is working on a combined COVID-19 and flu vaccine as it began trials this week.
The vaccine combines Pfizer’s quadrivalent modRNA-based influenza vaccine candidate with the companies’ omicron-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer and BioNTech said.
While flu vaccinations have become a yearly ritual for many, it’s still not certain whether COVID-19 vaccines will be administered similarly. Some health officials have suggested it’s likely COVID-19 vaccines will be needed annually to guard against waning immunity from past infections and shots.
