According to a report in Scientific American, early research suggests getting a flu shot might reduce the number of Coronavirus infections. The study by an infectious disease immunologist in the Netherlands has not been reviewed by peers but is reportedly in line with other recent studies published in peer-reviewed journals. The researcher in the Netherlands looked at medical records of employees at Radboud University Medical Center to see if they were likely to get infected by SARS-CoV-2, the novel strain of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The findings in the study preprint indicate that those who got the flu vaccine may trigger their bodies to produce infection-fighting molecules that could combat COVID-19.
