Vaccine

There were 39 deaths from cerebrovascular diseases reported in Indiana in the week ending July 16, making up 5.2% of total deaths by all causes in Indiana, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In the week ending July 16, there were 744 deaths in the state. 19.8% of deaths were caused by heart disease, 23.5% were from cancer and 8.1% were from COVID-19.

Studies show doctors and medical examiners may underreport Alzheimer's disease and dementia-related conditions as the underlying cause of death on death certificates, according to the National Institute on Aging.

Once infected, older adults with dementia are likely to develop a more severe and dangerous illness. The diseases which make an older adult more vulnerable to COVID-19 are age-associated chronic conditions, according to the Bright Focus Foundation.
