Shingles vaccine linked to 12% lower risk of heart attack and stroke
Reported bySquirrel News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A study of 70,000 people in the US found that those who received the Shingrix vaccine had a 12% lower risk of cardiovascular disease in the following 3.5 years—a benefit comparable to daily blood pressure medication, according to researchers at Oxford.
This finding is from observational records, not a clinical trial; the researchers say the benefit would need to be confirmed in clinical trials before widespread preventive use.
