Flu Vaccine May Lower Risk Of Severe Illness From COVID-19
People who received the flu vaccine in the year before testing positive for COVID-19 may have a milder case of the virus.
Those who received the vaccine are nearly 2 1/2 times less likely to be hospitalized with a severe form of COVID-19.
According to UPI, vaccinated patients were more than three times less likely to be admitted to an ICU with COVID-19.
Researchers stress however that the flu vaccine does not offer protection against COVID-19.
