COVID-19 and flu vaccine combination could be possible
A virologist says this is most likely, but we'll have to wait to know more about the epidemiology of the new COVID-19 variants.

A combined flu and COVID-19 vaccine is a future possibility.

This is according to Wendy Barclay, a British virologist and the head of the department of infectious disease at Imperial College London.

Barclay told U.K. lawmakers Wednesday that a combination is the most likely scenario, but we will have to wait at least until next year to know more about the epidemiology of the new coronavirus variants.
