Vaccines & Your Heart
Vaccination is one of the most effective and underused tools in heart health. This course explains why recommended vaccines — including those for influenza, COVID-19, and pneumonia — are especially important for people living with cardiovascular disease. You'll learn how vaccines reduce the risk of infection-triggered cardiac events, which vaccines are recommended, what to expect, and how immunisation fits into a broader heart-healthy lifestyle. Designed for patients and caregivers, Vaccines & Your Heart builds confidence and equips you to make informed decisions with your care team.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the importance of vaccination for patients with cardiovascular disease.
- Explain how vaccines reduce cardiovascular complications and infection-related risk.
- Identify the vaccines recommended for cardiac patients and the conditions they prevent.
- Describe the vaccination process and how to manage common side effects.
