againstIn the year, 150,000 people are victims of a brain attack (brain attack). It is also the leading cause of physical disability in adults. If 30,000 people died because of it, more than 500,000 French people lived with sequelae. However, in Canada, researchers at the University of Calgary have identified a link between the flu vaccine and the likelihood of having a stroke. The injection will reduce the risk. The results were confirmed even in patients not at risk of stroke. As this study states, infectious diseases are known to be associated with strokes, and there is a large body of evidence linking recent infections, particularly respiratory infections, to the onset of stroke.
To reach these conclusions, researchers analyzed the medical records of more than 4 million people over a nine-year period. The flu vaccine is known to reduce the risk of heart attack and hospitalization for people with heart disease. We wanted to see if the vaccine had the same protective qualities for people at high risk of stroke, explained Dr. Michael Hill, a Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) researcher and lead researcher on the study. Before finishing: “Our results show that the risk of stroke is lower in people who have recently received a flu shot. This was true for everyone. […] read more
