VA data suggest COVID boosters curb heart risk in older veterans

A study using US Veterans Affairs records found the 2024-2025 COVID vaccine, given with the flu vaccine on the same day, was associated with lower risk of COVID-related major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in more than one million veterans, particularly those 75 and older and with underlying conditions. Within eight months, relative vaccine effectiveness was 37.7% for all MACE, including a 57.9% lower risk of cardiovascular death, 38.5% lower risk of heart attack, and 41.9% lower risk of hospitalization for heart failure; stroke reduction was not statistically significant. The study is observational and cannot prove causation, and declines in COVID testing and infection severity may affect the links observed.

CDC delays key COVID vaccine-benefits report, prompting questions about its methods

The acting CDC director delayed publication of a report showing the COVID-19 vaccine reduced emergency department visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, citing concerns with the methodology. The move, while the design has long been used to test vaccine effectiveness, has drawn criticism that vaccine benefits may be downplayed and was reported by scientists who spoke on condition of anonymity.

ACIP Targets Covid Shots and Pregnancy Vaccines Under Safety Debate

ACIP Targets Covid Shots and Pregnancy Vaccines Under Safety Debate

Federal vaccine advisers on the ACIP are turning their attention to the next targets—mRNA Covid vaccines and vaccines given during pregnancy—amid warnings from some panelists that Covid shots may be unsafe and calls to pull them from the market; the FDA has rejected DNA-contamination fears, and can only influence use through recommendations, not withdraw vaccines. A new work group will review vaccines for pregnant women, and two Kennedy-appointed members with anti-vaccine views have joined, fueling controversy ahead of the Feb. 25–27 meeting. Despite the dispute, extensive studies have found no safety concerns with vaccines in pregnancy, and the panel’s decisions can still affect coverage and clinical use.

mRNA Vaccines Show Promise in Cancer Treatment and Research

mRNA Vaccines Show Promise in Cancer Treatment and Research

Research suggests that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may enhance the immune response in cancer patients, leading to longer survival when combined with immunotherapy, especially in lung and skin cancers. The findings, based on patient data and mouse studies, indicate a potential for developing universal cancer vaccines, though further clinical trials are needed.

Study Links COVID Vaccine to Heart Risks in Specific Group

A Stanford study explains that myocarditis, a rare heart inflammation linked to COVID-19 vaccines, is caused by immune proteins CXCL10 and IFN-gamma. The research suggests that targeted immune modulation could reduce risk, especially in young males, without compromising vaccine benefits. The overall safety of COVID vaccines remains high, with myocarditis being a very rare side effect.

New Study Links mRNA COVID Vaccines to Rare Myocarditis Cases

A Stanford study highlights a rare risk of myocarditis, or heart inflammation, associated with mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, especially in young men and children, with an estimated occurrence of 1 in 140,000 after the first dose and 1 in 32,000 after the second. While most recover quickly, the study emphasizes that Covid itself is more likely to cause myocarditis than the vaccine, and advises seeking medical help if chest pains occur post-vaccination.

Hidden COVID Vaccine Side Effect Revealed

A study suggests that mRNA COVID vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna may enhance survival rates in cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy, potentially 'priming' the immune system to fight cancer more effectively, though more research is needed; the vaccines remain primarily important for preventing COVID-19 complications.

Woman Considers New COVID Vaccine

An 80-year-old woman who has received all COVID vaccines, including the latest in August, is considering whether to get the updated 2025-26 vaccine to better protect against circulating variants. Dr. Roach advises that she has some protection from her recent vaccine but recommends the new vaccine if she wants enhanced protection, especially given her age and risk factors. The decision can be made now or in a few months depending on community virus levels.

Trump undergoes health tests and receives vaccines amid ongoing health updates

President Donald Trump received a Covid vaccine booster and a flu shot during a routine health check-up at Walter Reed, where he was found to be in excellent health with a cardiac age significantly younger than his actual age. The visit also included advanced testing and imaging, and occurred amid changing Covid vaccine guidelines and political controversies surrounding vaccine recommendations.
