The trends and determinants of seasonal influenza vaccination after cardiovascular events in Canada: a repeated, pan-Canadian, cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Influenza vaccination is still at less than the recommended level in patients with CVD. Future research should consider the impact of interventions to improve vaccination uptake in this population.PMID:36794825 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.43.2.04

FDA Experts Vote to Make All COVID-19 Vaccines and Boosters Bivalent
In a unanimous decision, all 21 voting members of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) vaccine committee recommended that the U.S. start using the same COVID-19 virus strain in all of the COVID-19 vaccines, including primary and booster doses. That means the bivalent booster dose, which targets both the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and the Omicron BA.4/5 strains, would soon become the only type used for all primary shots and boosters. The decision reflects a turning point in the pandemic. Until now, vaccine makers have tried to keep up with constantly evolving variants, but they’ve always been a few step...

COVID-19 vs Influenza for Risk of Thrombotic Events in Hospitalized Patients —Reply
In Reply We appreciate the interest in our recent study and the opportunity to share our responses to the comments by Dr Yii and colleagues. We sought to assess whether the risk of arterial and venous thromboembolism among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 differed from those hospitalized with another respiratory viral infection. Patients with influenza in 2018-2019 were selected as the comparator because this pathogen also causes pandemics, results in hospitalization when severe, and is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. Evaluating outcomes of COVI...

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 2817: Thromboembolic Events in Patients with Influenza: A Scoping Review
Discussion: Our findings are important in clarifying which thromboembolic complications are more frequent in adults and children with influenza. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism and influenza can be very similar, so a careful clinical evaluation is required for proper patient management, possible instrumental deepening, and appropriate pharmacological interventions, especially for patients with respiratory failure.

Cold Weather Can Be Dangerous for the Human Body. This Winter Worries Experts
A particularly nasty trifecta of influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is already portending a rough winter. But there’s another factor contributing to a potentially tough season for health: a colder-than-average season, which is forecast in the northern U.S. and the U.K. Even an ordinary cold season can pose a threat to human health and safety. One 2015 study published in the Lancet analyzed over 74 million deaths around the world found that more than 7% of deaths were attributed to exposure to cold temperatures. “There is conclusive evidence that there is increased risk for many health ou...

Predictors of herpes zoster vaccination among Australian adults aged 65 and over
CONCLUSION(S): Further research is required to understand the barriers to HZ vaccine uptake. Increasing the funding eligibility for those who are at risk of complications from shingles, or lowering the age of eligibility, may increase vaccine coverage.PMID:36336528 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.10.064

High-dose influenza vaccines for the prevention of hospitalization due to cardiovascular events in older adults in the nursing home: Post-hoc analysis of a cluster-randomized trial
Vaccine. 2022 Oct 13:S0264-410X(22)01215-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.09.085. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlder adults are at high risk of major acute cardiovascular events (MACE) linked to influenza illness andpreventable by influenza vaccination. It is unknown whether high-dose vaccine might incrementally reduce the risk of MACE.We conducted a post-hoc analysis of data collected from a pragmatic cluster randomized study of 823 nursing homes (NH) randomized to standard-dose (SD) or high-dose (HD) influenza vaccine in the 2013-14 season. Adults age 65 year or older who are Medicare-enrolled long-stay residents were inc...

Influenza Vaccination and Risk of Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
DISCUSSION: Results are compatible with a moderate protective effect of influenza vaccine on IS appearing early after vaccination. The finding that a reduced risk was also observed in pre-epidemic periods suggests that either the "protection" is not totally linked to prevention of influenza infection, or it may be partly explained by unmeasured confounding factors.PMID:36240087 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000201123

Age-dependent and sex-dependent differences in mortality from influenza-associated cardiovascular diseases among older adults in Shanghai, China: a population-based study
Conclusions Excess mortality rates for CVDs associated with influenza increased with age in older adults. The risk for influenza-associated IHD mortality was significantly higher in older women than men. Our findings will help implement targeted health strategies, including the promotion of influenza vaccination and early therapeutic intervention for the older population with CVD, to curb the influenza burden effectively.
