+ influenza vaccine can induce trained immunity responses against
+ SARS-CoV-2, which may result in relative protection against
+ COVID-19. These data […] argue for a beneficial effect of influenza
+ vaccination against influenza as well as COVID-19, and suggests its
+ effective deployment in the 2020-2021 influenza season to protect
+ against both infections.”
