The good news is that the flu vaccine helps protect against heart events, reducing risk for heart attack by 19–45%.



Poorly written sentence - the flu vaccine does not reduce risk of MI's - preventing someone with CVD from getting the flu is what supposedly reduces risk. And since yearly flu vaccine targets are hit and miss (they missed last year), I don't know how you can even get valid stats for MI prevention. And I'll bet it varies by age, level/availability of health care, overall health (co-morbidities?), what kind of support system someone has (living alone at age 75 is likely way riskier than living with a helpful family at age 55) - just saying "get the flu shot if you have CVD" is probably risky for some people who may react badly to flu shots.
