Until a coronavirus vaccine is ready, pneumonia vaccines may reduce deaths from COVID-19

Via LLRXUntil a coronavirus vaccine is ready, pneumonia vaccines may reduce deaths from COVID-19Prof. Robert Root-Bernstein is an immunologist and physiologist interested in the effects of combined infections on immunity vaccines. Two vaccines – pneumococcal vaccine and the Hib vaccine – protect against bacterial pneumonias. These bacteria complicate both influenza and COVID-19, often leading to death. Root-Bernstein’s examination of disease trends and vaccination rates leads him to believe that broader use of the pneumococcal and Hib vaccines could guard against the worst effects of a COVID-19 illness.
