In fact, as Debisarun and colleagues highlight, influenza vaccinations modulate the responses against SARS-CoV-2, reducing IL-1β and IL-6 production while enhancing IL-1Ra release [29], and the cytokine storm due to dysregulated immune responses is well-known to underlie systemic SARS-CoV-2 damage [30]. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is influenza.
