A new study found that getting flu vaccines did not increase the risk for contracting coronavirus.

A live look at klamath getting a flu vaccine does not increase risk for covid-19.

Cleveland clinic's doctor joe zen led the research team.

"our results showed that patients who received influenza vaccine were not at higher risk of being hospitalized, being admitted to the intensive care unit, or die from covid-19."

Doctor zein and his colleagues wanted to see if flu vaccination had any impact on covid-19 infection.

They analyzed data from over thirteen-thousand covid-19 tests and compared people who had received a flu vaccine, to those who had not.

Results show influenza vaccination was not associated with increased occurrence of covid-19, or with more severe cases of the disease.

Flu vaccine didn't appear to offer any protection against coronavirus, either.

"our surprise was that we don't think this really can prevent covid but at least it does not make covid any worse."
