Senior (>65) high dose fluzone shot

It’s 4x the antigen. Anyone get afib from it?

[clinicaltrials.gov]
I don’t understand the results:

Diseases of the respiratory system
Diseases of the circulatory system
Pneumonia
Heart failure
Acute myocardial infarction

I don’t understand the results:

These are data they are collecting, not results. The Primary measures are being gathered to demonstrate that the 4x vaccine is better than the 1x vaccine.

The secondary are just data to see if there is a difference.

I'm not anti vax - just having gotten my 4th COVID jab, but haven't had the flu or a flu vaccine in decades. I trust keeping my own immune system in condition such that a severe flu case is very unlikely.

Thanks George!
I’m on my 67 day nsr streak so I passed today getting the high dose flu shot right before a holiday when the ERs will be packed. I’m waiting for my covid antibody test results to come back and then I’ll sabotage my nsr and get the booster if my numbers are low after 9 months.

I posted this flu info because if I have to pick which vaccine to get that could cause afib, I’ll prefer the moderna booster. Is this senior 4x flu dose new? I don’t remember getting it last year. The study did mention they are measuring afib so there must be a connection.

The Quadravent flu shot has been available since 2017. Both my wife and I have been getting it ever since with no effects.
