One jab for two bugs: pfizer tests combo COVID-Flu vaccine
NCT ID NCT06237049
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Pfizer trial tested whether a single injection combining an updated COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response. The study involved 644 healthy adults aged 50 and older. Researchers measured side effects and antibody levels to see if the combo shot works as well as getting the vaccines separately.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Combination of a modified RNA COVID-19 vaccine and a recombinant influenza vaccine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a single annual shot that protects against both COVID-19 and flu, simplifying vaccination for older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety and immune response, not yet on preventing illness. The combination may not work as well as separate shots, and side effects could be more common.
