Study Confirms Some Flu Vaccines Cause a Stronger Response in Older Patients
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Back in December 2019, a study published journal “Clinical Infectious Diseases” offered more evidence that certain specially formulated flu vaccines may offer people 65 years and older better protection than standard-dose flu vaccines.

People in this age group are considered at high risk of developing serious flu complications, yet vaccines may not work as well for them as they do in younger people.
There are at least three relatively newer influenza vaccine options that may improve vaccine protection among older adults, and this is the first study to directly compare the antibody responses from these newer vaccine options with standard flu vaccines among people in the same age group during the same influenza season.
QUERY: What are the implications of this study on the Corona Virus pandemic?
Assessment: Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
