A new study found the seasonal influenza vaccine was linked with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease.
“People like to argue that people who are more likely to get regular vaccinations are those that have regular primary care and are perhaps more likely to get preventive health interventions,” said Dr. Zaldy Tan, medical director at the University of California, Los Angeles Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program.
The findings add to the growing evidence of vaccination benefits as scientists work double time to create a coronavirus vaccine by 2021 – which only about half of Americans say they would get, according to a May poll from“With the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines are at the forefront of public health discussion,” said Mari Carrillo, Alzheimer’s Association chief science officer.
While people are hunkered down in their homes and are less likely to spread the seasonal flu, some experts are worried they also are less likely to get the annual vaccine. Before the pandemic, many Americans enjoyed the convenience of receiving their shot at the office. Experts hope people are proactive about visiting their local pharmacy or family doctor to get their flu shot this year, especially with flu season around the corner and coronavirus cases on the rise. Many worry both viruses could overwhelm hospitals in the fall.Follow Adrianna Rodriguez on Twitter: @AdriannaUSAT.
