Association between pneumococcal vaccination and cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
Conclusion PV is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. This protective effect increases at older age and in high cardiovascular risk subjects and decreases as the time elapses from PV. PV decreases the risk of MI and cerebrovascular events in the elderly. (Source: European Journal of Preventive Cardiology)
