The COVID-19 pandemic

Looks like the flu vaccine might lesson or eliminate symptoms in this one age group:

Further study I guess to see if those of other age groups receiving the flu shot are less likely to get seriously ill. There ia some science backing as to the why.

Yeah, NZ is expecting a lot of uptake on the flu vaccine this year as well, although it'll be hard to predict how to formulate it since the flu is essentially not a thing this whole year.

The result is plausible though not super strongly supported by evidence. It's especially useful in this age group where COVID vaccines aren't approved yet. People should get their flu shots!
