| description | Objectives: Health care workers are one of the groups at risk of influenza. Currently, influenza vaccination is very important more than ever before. Influenza is evolutionarily similar to SARS-CoV-2, and they have some common epitopes and mechanisms. Thus reducing the severity of COVID-19 disease by influenza vaccination seems possible. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between influenza vaccination and COVID-19 infection among clinical nurses. Methodology: The present study is a prospective analysis of nurses working in educational-medical hospitals of Ardabil. In this study, two groups of nurses were considered as case and control groups. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software and descriptive (mean, standard deviation and frequency) and analytical (Chi-square) tests. Results: A total of 279 individuals were included in the study according to the research criteria. The maximum duration of the disease was one week in the control group and four weeks in the case group. Chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference in terms of disease duration between the two groups (P = 0.000). Chi-square test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in terms of disease treatment between the two groups (P = 0.000). Conclusion: Influenza vaccine reduces the incidence of COVID-19 and reduces the need for hospitalization in patients with this disease. However, due to the positive effects of influenza vaccine on COVID-19 and its low cost, it is recommended to inject influenza vaccine more than before. |
