Influenza Vaccination Correlates with Modestly Lower Risk of Stroke
Following on from a recent study that suggested undergoing yearly vaccination for influenza can greatly reduce Alzheimer's risk, researchers here show that influenza vaccination correlates with a lower risk of stroke. The mechanisms of interest behind both of these correlations seem likely to revolve around chronic inflammation, an important factor in both the growth of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels and the onset and progression of neurodegenerative conditions.

The Future of COVID-19 Therapies and Vaccines
Against all odds and breaking development records, we now have several approved COVID-19 vaccines rolling out worldwide.
