Recent studies have shown that if you get a flu shot it reduces your chances of getting a stroke, heart attack, or even death. The shot protects the heart health and even respiratory health. In many trials involving 3,238 patients got the vaccine and 95 of them which is 2.9% went on to experience "a major adverse in cardiovascular event." Then later 151 of them or 4.7% later experienced cardiovascular events. It shows that there is a 36% chance of a reduced risk heart attack. Doctors also said that is 55% less likely to get a serious heart attack after taking this shot. All together the amount of deaths after getting this shot is 1.3% of people who did get it. There is a small risk, but the outcome means you can live longer and have a healthier life.
