Minneapolis [US]: Getting an annual flu vaccine shot may help to lower the risk of stroke, according to researchers. The findings of the study were published in the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"Studies have shown that getting the flu increases your risk of having a stroke, but research is still being collected on whether getting the flu vaccine can help protect against a stroke," said study author Francisco J. de Abajo, MD, MPH, PhD, of the University of Alcala in Madrid, Spain.
