It is recommended that everyone
over 65 years receive a ‘flu jab every year.
Sadly, even having a vaccine doesn’t always give
enough protection. The University of Sydney and
the Centre for STRONG medicine at Balmain hospital
are running a study to test an exciting new idea
that may help vaccines work better and protect us
more from deadly diseases. A single short bout of
moderate exercise activates the immune system - we
have found that performing exercise before
receiving a vaccine can strengthen the response in
young adults. In this study we’ll be testing this
idea in older adults who are most at risk from
‘flu, and need help in boosting their response to
the vaccine. If we find that our exercising
participants get better protection, this could be
a way for everybody to be better protected, and so
reduce the suffering caused every year by ‘flu.
Exercising before a vaccination is very adaptable,
it doesn’t cost anything and we can design
exercises that everyone can do, so this could be
the start of a new way to get your vaccines!DRKATE EDWARDS | Lecturer, Exercise Physiology, FACULTY OF HEALTH
