Oct. 26, 2023 – Vaccines for COVID-19 and flu
might raise the risk of strokes for older people, especially when given together and to seniors over 85, new research says.
"There is no need for panic, and emphatically no need to stop giving COVID and flu shots at the same time to older adults," Peter Chin-Hong, MD, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, told
ABC News.
The results were also not yet peer reviewed, ABC News reported....
“The absolute risk is miniscule,” Steve Nissen, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic told CNN. “I mean it is trivial in comparison to the risk for people over 85 of dying from Covid.”
