COVID Vaccines Reduce Risk of Heart Failure, Clots
Quick Glance: Benefits of COVID Vaccinations for Heart and Blood Vessels
  • A study conducted by the University of Oxford reveals that COVID-19 vaccinations reduce the risk of heart failure and blood clots.

  • The protection provided lasted up to a year and also decreased the likelihood of heart inflammation and specific types of blood clots.

  • These findings were recently published in the journal Heart, indicating that the protection against heart and blood flow issues through vaccinations outweighs associated risks.

  • Analysis of health data from more than 20 million individuals in the UK, Spain, and Estonia demonstrates that vaccinated individuals have a lower risk of heart failure and blood clots.
