Flu shot linked to lower risk of stroke: Research
A study suggests that receiving an annual flu shot may reduce the risk of stroke.
The American Academy of Neurology’s medical journal reported the study’s findings.
Study author Francisco J. de Abajo, MD, MPH, PhD, of the University of Alcala in Madrid, Spain, said: “Studies have indicated that having the flu raises your chance of having a stroke, but evidence is still being gathered on whether getting the flu vaccine can help guard against a stroke.” “According to this observational study, receiving a flu vaccination lowers stroke risk. More investigation is required to understand if this is brought on by the vaccine’s protective impact or by other factors.”
The most prevalent type of stroke, ischemic stroke, which is brought on by a restriction in blood flow to the brain, was the subject of the study.
In order to gather data for the study, researchers searched a Spanish healthcare database for individuals who were at least 40 years old and had their first stroke within the previous 14 years. Five people of the same age and sex were compared to each stroke victim. There were 71,610 persons who did not have a stroke and 14,322 people who did.
Then, for individuals who did not experience a stroke, the researchers looked at whether persons had received the influenza vaccine at least 14 days before to the stroke.
In comparison to 40.5% of those who did not have a stroke, 41.4% of those who did had had the flu vaccination. However, those who received the shot had a higher likelihood of being older and having additional health issues, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, that would increase their risk of having a stroke. After adjusting for those variables, researchers discovered that people who took a flu shot had a 12% lower risk of having a stroke than people who did not.
Additionally, the risk of stroke was examined to determine if the pneumococcal vaccine had any preventive effects.
These findings provide just another justification for people to obtain their annual flu shot, especially if they have a higher risk of stroke, according to de Abajo. “It is incredibly tempting to be able to lower your risk of stroke by doing something so straightforward.”
As an observational study, it cannot be concluded that the flu shot lowers the risk of stroke. Only an association is displayed. Other elements that potentially have an impact on stroke risk were not measured.

Ratan Tata, who ran Tata Sons for more than 20 years as chairman, died at a Mumbai hospital.
Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, has died, the group announced in a statement on Wednesday. He was 86. Ratan Tata, who ran the conglomerate for more than 20 years as chairman, had been undergoing intensive care in a Mumbai hospital since Monday.
“It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation,” said N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, in a late night statement.
On Monday, the industrialist had in a social media post dismissed speculation surrounding his health and had said he was undergoing routine medical investigations due to his age.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Ratan Tata, calling him a visionary business leader, compassionate soul, extraordinary human being.
“Ratan Tata endeared himself to people, thanks to his humility, kindness, unwavering commitment to making society better,” PM Modi said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
After graduating with a degree in architecture at Cornell University, he returned to India and in 1962 began working for the group his great-grandfather had founded nearly a century earlier.
He worked in several Tata companies, including Telco, now Tata Motors Ltd, as well as Tata Steel Ltd, later making his mark by erasing losses and increasing market share at group unit National Radio & Electronics Company.
In 1991, he took the helm of the conglomerate when his uncle J.R.D. Tata stepped down – the passing of the baton coming just as India embarked on radical reforms that opened up its economy to the world and ushered in an era of high growth.
Under Tata’s leadership, the group launched the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car, and expanded its software services arm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), into a global IT leader.
Tata stepped down as chairman in 2012 but was later named chairman emeritus of Tata Sons and other group companies, including Tata Motors and Tata Steel. He briefly returned as interim chairman in 2016 during a leadership dispute.
