Studies have found that flu vaccines can reduce the risk of death in older patients

new study from Aohus University and Aohus University Hospital found that older patients who were admitted to intensive care units had a lower risk of death and bleeding from blood clots or brain bleeds if they were vaccinated against the flu.
The study is based on a group of 89,818 patients enrolled in Danish intensive care units between 2005 and 2015 and is supported by the Danish Independent Research Fund and proCRIN (Clinical Research Infrastructure Program).
data showed that for those who were vaccinated, the risk of stroke was 16 percent lower than that of unvaccinated patients, and the risk of death in the first year of hospitalization was 8 percent lower.
Christian Fynbo Christiansen, clinical associate professor at Aohus University Hospital and consultant at Aohus University Hospital, explains: "Every year 30,000 patients enter the intensive care unit of Danish hospitals, and we know that the first year is crucial. "
three-quarters of patients survive and are discharged from the hospital, " he continued. But even among discharged patients, almost one in five died within the first year, while others had complications. Our study shows that flu-vaccinated patients have fewer deaths and serious complications. Therefore, this supports the current recommendation to vaccinate older patients. "
, however, it is surprising that the vaccine has not reduced the number of pneumonia cases in our study, although this is expected, as previous studies have shown that vaccines have this effect on young and healthy people.
