Influenza Vaccination and Reduction in Hospitalizations for Cardiac Disease and Stroke Among the Elderly
NEJM 348:1322-1332, Nichol,K.L.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In the elderly, vaccination against influenza is associated with reductions in the risk of hospitalization for heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and pneumonia or influenza as well as the risk of death from all causes during influenza seasons. These findings highlight the benefits of vaccination and support efforts to increase the rates of vaccination among the elderly.
