### Human:\ncan you get a flu shot and the whooping cough vaccine at the same time or does it cause problems? . we have had several patients tell us they have heard not to get the 2 shots together - but we have never heard that & our health department says it is fine\n\n### Assistant: yes it is safe to combine those two vaccines. we do it all of the time in our office without any problems or incidents. the health department is correct.
