Flu vaccine may protect you from a heart attack

[Francis]

It seems having the Flu vaccine may have other benefits ?

Since Flu vaccines have improved in many ways with many other methods or giving the Flu Vaccine had been invented since I was a child..

Do you think the benefit can start to make sense for you to get this vaccine or will you keep avoiding it as may may do today ?

Getting a flu shot this season may not only greatly lower your risk of influenza this year, it may also lower your risk of heart disease, a new review from Canada suggests.

Results show that people who received the flu vaccine were 50 percent less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke, and 40 percent less likely to die from one, compared with people in the unvaccinated control group.

The flu vaccine could be an important way to maintain heart health and ward off strokes and heart attacks, the researchers said. They presented their findings at a cardiovascular disease research meeting today (Oct. 28) in Toronto.
