The Covid vaccine may be linked to a small increase in stroke risk when given alongside a high-dose flu shot, health officials say.
A new analysis by the Food and Drug Administration found the link was clearest in adults over 85 and only applied to the Pfizer and Moderna bivalent Covid booster vaccines.
The FDA said the risk might stem from the flu vaccine alone and be completely unrelated to the Covid shots. Regardless, the report said the risk is still very small.
There were roughly three strokes or stroke-like events called transient ischemic attacks for every 100,000 doses given.
For comparison, in 2022 the death rate from Covid in over-85s was 1,224 per 100,000, with US health experts saying vaccination still outweighs the small risk.
It is the second analysis by health officials to flag a possible association with strokes and seniors after getting the combination of seasonal vaccines.
Meanwhile, a separate analysis by the FDA flagged up a small increase in the incidence of seizures after Covid vaccinations in children ages two to five.The Covid vaccine may be linked to a small increase in stroke risk when given alongside a high-dose flu shot, health officials say
The papers were posted online last week, and have not yet been vetted for publication in a scientific journal. Experts in vaccine safety said the studies were well done.

Whatever they admit, multiply it by a million.
Got a flu shot and a pneumonia shot last week.
That’s all I ever get...................
Despite the high risk of mortality, they’re safe and effective.
My mother in law was complaining she couldn’t get a COVID shot because they were out of stock. I asked her why would she even consider getting a COVID shot at this stage. I told her about the various potential complications. I don’t know if she listened. She is still alive and hasn’t had any strokes.
I used to get flu shots, not anymore since the Covid shots. There is now a flu/Covid shot combo, so how that isn't dangerous based on the title of this article, is beyond me. These days you can't trust what they will be shooting into you. I'm 76 and never had the flu. If I get it now, who cares? I've already outlived the rest of my family. I'll die when the good Lord says I die, but I won't help it along by putting foreign substances in my body any longer.
I got a flu shot a couple of years ago and also pneumonia but I think I would rather have the actual flu because the immunity would be more effective.
in Kelce’s ad for the shot he comes to after his Mother snaps him out of his day dreaming and his fingers are twitching.
I was surprised they put that in there given some of the purported side effects
Just the other day they announced a combo flu/Covid shot. Here they’re saying getting certain shots on the same day can raise your risk of stroke, yet the combo shot is safe? These people don’t know their arse from a hole in the ground.
Thanks for posting, ‘note.
safe AND effective
But a combo flu and COVID shot is perfectly safe...
Fixed.
Russian roulette.
“I used to get flu shots, not anymore since the Covid shots.”
ditto ... only “effective” 10%-40% of the time anyway, and i think effectiveness has been redefined as severe disease, anyway ...
the pneumonia vaccine is for bacterial pneumonia, which is something you REALLY do not want to contract, as it’s quite deadly ... i think the old, original, unadjuvanted bacterial vax is still available ... personally, i’d never take an adjuvanted vax ...
I’ve never had either - I’m 71.
You may die with the shot but it will be less severe than regular death
