In the News--flu vaccine may protect against heart disease



A Canadian study looked at four previous studies involving 3000 people who were average age of 60.  Among those people, people who got the flu vaccine “were 50 percent less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke, and 40 percent less likely to die from one.”  One more good reason to get the seasonal flu vaccine.  More information can be found at http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/10/29/flu-vaccine-may-protect-against-heart-disease/
