Researchers analyzing data from Medicare detected an elevated stroke risk among the elderly following receipt of a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and Moderna.

The researchers looked at people who received an influenza shot at the same time as a COVID shot and saw that the elevated risk only persisted among people who received the vaccines simultaneously. They also found an elevated risk of nonhemorrhagic stroke among people who received an influenza vaccine and did not get a COVID shot.

According to the researchers, the “clinical significance of the risk of stroke after vaccination must be carefully considered together with the significant benefits of receiving an influenza vaccination.”

With higher stroke risk and several studies showing that the influenza vaccine is only 16% effective, what exactly are the “significant benefits”?
