“ Can vaccines protect against heart damage from Covid?
Another new study, published Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, suggests that vaccination may protect against major cardiovascular events — like heart attacks and strokes — associated with Covid.
The study analyzed data from nearly 2 million people in the National Covid Cohort Collaborative database. About 218,000 had received at least one dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccine, or Johnson & Johnson’s single dose vaccine. Even partial vaccination was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular events for at least six months, the researchers found.
More research is needed to confirm whether Covid vaccination reduces the risk of these cardiovascular events, but the new study begins to broaden the understanding of the unknown long-term effects vaccines may have on the heart.
“There have been a lot of various messages about the efficacy of vaccines,” said study co-author Joy Jiang, an M.D./Ph.D. candidate at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. “This pushes the narrative toward encouraging people to get vaccinated because of this associated benefit.”
