A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000. Published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, it tracked mostly older men after shots in late 2024, showing benefits for high-risk groups but drawing skeptic fire over tiny absolute gains, healthy vaccinee bias, and observational limits. Lead author Ziyad Al-Aly stressed skipping shots leaves heart protection untapped, while critics like Alex Berenson dismissed the relative risk figures as misleading.

For older veterans, getting the updated COVID shot alongside their flu vaccine meant fewer heart attacks and strokes tied to infections. The findings highlight real protection, especially for those over 75.
