How long to wait between flu vaccine and shingles vaccine?

The recommended waiting period between receiving the flu vaccine and the shingles vaccine is at least 4 weeks (28 days).

Both vaccines are intended to stimulate an immune response to help protect against these diseases. However, receiving both vaccines too closely together may reduce the effectiveness of either vaccine. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended waiting period to ensure that each vaccine can work effectively.
