(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 28 - The flu vaccine seems to help combat
the coronavirus, according to a study by Milan's Centro
Cardiologico Monzino and published in the Vaccines journal.
The study said that the regions with higher flu vaccine rates
among over-65s have fewer contagions, fewer hospitalized COVID
patients, fewer patients in intensive care and fewer deaths
during the lockdown.
It estimated that an 1% increase in flu-vaccine coverage among
over-65s could have avoided 78,560 contagions. (ANSA).
