Vad tror ni om influensavaccin?
Kan det vara någon risk med att ta influensasprutan vad gäller risk att råka illa ut för Covid?
Har hört lite sådana rykten. Att vaccinet mot influensa kan förstöra immunförsvaret tillfälligt och om man då samtidigt råkar ut för Covid19, skulle utfallet kunna bli sämre. Jag vet inte vad jag ska tro. Tänker ni vaccinera er mot influensan?

Vahlne nämner under vetenskapspodden att influensavaccin kan trigga kroppens egna produktion av Interferoner vilket i sin tur tros ge ett bättre skydd samt mildare infektion.

Vahlnes kollega Petter Brodin leder ett projekt om just interferoner.
These new results represent a breakthrough in COVID-19 research and can in part explain why some young and previously healthy individuals get very sick,” says Petter Brodin, researcher at the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health, Karolinska Institutet, who coordinates the project in Sweden.
He was involved in one of the studies, where researchers examined 987 patients with life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia. They found that more than 10 percent had autoantibodies against interferons at the onset of their infection and that these antibodies can curb the activity of type I interferons. Strikingly, 95 percent of the patients were men.
More than 10 percent of young and previously healthy people who develop severe COVID-19 have misguided antibodies that attack the immune system itself, and another 3.5 percent carry a specific genetic mutation. This is according to new research published in Science by an international consortium involving researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.
In both groups, the patients lack a set of proteins called type I interferons, either because they were neutralised by so-called autoantibodies (antibodies that attack the body’s own proteins) or not produced in sufficient amounts due to a faulty gene. Interferons are known to play an important role in the early immune response against viruses.
