It is the second study to find an elevated risk of stroke for seniors after Covid-19 and flu vaccinations given together. The US Centers for Disease Control and FDA issued a public communication in January explaining that one of their near real-time vaccine safety monitoring studiescalled the Vaccine Safety Datalinkhad picked up a small and uncertain risk of stroke for older adults who received a dose of Pfizers bivalent Covid-19 vaccine and a high-dose or adjuvanted flu shot on the same day. That study triggered the FDAs broader look at strokes after vaccination noted in the medical records of seniors on Medicare.
