Elderly Who Got COVID and Flu Shots in Same Visit May Have Higher Stroke Risk, FDA-Funded Study Suggests

Elderly people may have an increased risk of stroke caused by blood clots in the brains if they receive both the COVID booster and a flu shot in the same visit, a new study suggests.

Older adults who received both shots in the same visit last year had a 20-35% increased stroke risk, according to the study, which was funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The results showed about three strokes for every 100,000 doses given.

The study suggested the increased stroke risk may be primarily driven by the flu shots rather than the COVID vaccines. Nevertheless, the results have sparked concerns.

The study examined the Medicare claims of more than 5.3 million adults age 65 and older who received a bivalent Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine. (Read more from “Elderly Who Got COVID and Flu Shots in Same Visit May Have Higher Stroke Risk, FDA-Funded Study Suggests” HERE)
