Abstract:
This brief article focuses on vaccines targeted against five infectious agents that are linked to an increased cardiovascular risk in adults: COVID-19, influenza, pneumococcus, respiratory syncytial virus, and varicella-zoster virus. The article is divided into three parts. Firstly, it outlines the mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular events that occur during and after infections. Secondly, it discusses the principles of vaccine protection in this context. The third part is dedicated to clinical studies that specifically demonstrate the cardiovascular protection afforded by the vaccines. Vaccines targeting the five aforementioned infectious agents should undoubtedly be considered key elements in the prevention of cardiovascular risk.
