Getting the #fluvaccine with #Pfizer #COVID19 booster shot can increase #stroke risk

The seasonal #fluvaccine is less effective in some years than others. In a new study published in #ScienceAdvances, #StJude #scientists found mutations that can improve or impair #flu vaccines and may give clues to assess the #pandemic potential of flu viruses in nature. The group’s work suggests technically feasible and relatively cost-effective ways to improve the seasonal vaccine and pandemic flu prediction. #StJudeResearch http://bit.ly/3G14yky

Have booked both my flu and Covid vaccine shots for the same time via the BookMyVaccine website below. Looks like in Wellington at least it is only Pharmacies that are doing these vaccines. My GP is offering the flu vaccine but not the Covid shot. I am sure there are Good Reasons™ for this, but it seems to me a missed opportunity. Anyho, both vaccines are free in my case, so I can't really grumble.

It’s Time for a #FluVaccine—for #Birds
#Avian #influenza (#H5N1) has killed millions of birds. Shots to prevent it already exist. Why isn’t the entire poultry industry using them? Introducing a #vaccine could trigger trade bans that would crush the enormous US #export market, turn sectors of the poultry trade against each other, and possibly provoke consumer uneasiness about #food safety.

A toot for #PwME and #NEISvoid

I have #MEcfs. And several other things, but ME is the worst

I have been pretty unwell lately

And I'm thinking back to right after I had my last #CovidVaccineBooster how much noticeably better I felt. Not unsick, but the best I've been in years. I had the #FluVaccine around the same time, I think 2 weeks apart

This obviously in contrast to most people's reactions to the vaccine. IDK what it means

Just thinking, I'd get another shot right now if they'd let me

Two minutes of your time, trust me you don’t want the real flu nor do you want your child to have it. Your pharmacist is still round to give it to you #fluvaccine

A recent University of Calgary study indicates that the annual flu vaccine lowers the risk of stroke.

@davecl42 I used to get ’flu every year, at least once, which really messed up anything I planned in autumn/winter. For example, for years I never got to Novacon because I was either down with ’flu, recovering, or down with a secondary infection. Then ’flu vaccines became available. Since then, I have had exactly one bout of ’flu (the predicted strains were a bit wrong) and that was very mild. Never missed a Novacon then until the pandemic hit!

PLEASE STAY HOME AND DO NOT SHED GERMS EVERYWHERE!
If you must go out wear a KN95 mask. The white ones. Or at minimum a blue surgical.
An ordinary cold may be infectious for 8 days.
Unlike covid (mostly) the RSV and flu viruses may make kids and young adults very ill.
RT @CMOIreland: #flu and #COVID19 cases and hospitalisations have increased. Please come forward for your #fluvaccine and #CovidVaccines. Please stay home if you have any 'flu like symptoms.

About me: I’m an immunologist who studies how aging impacts the response to infections & vaccines. If you have questions, please feel free to ask!

And don’t forget to get your #FluVaccine💉

Indicative, rather than causal.

Given high levels of scarlet fever and accompanying invasive Strep A infections, this is important data.

If the #fluvaccine does indeed reduce secondary bacterial infections, then it's yet another shot in the arm (so to speak) for this squirt up the nose!
