This is not confirmed but some vaccines like for pneumonia, hepatitis, flu can help fight coronavirus infection though not specifically for civic 19.

Data suggest safety, benefit of non-COVID vaccines

Two new studies found that people who had received vaccines for other viruses developed fewer or less serious coronavirus infections, though more research is needed to determine their potential effectiveness against COVID-19. According to a study published in Cell Reports Medicine on Wednesday, people who received the BCG tuberculosis vaccine in the last 3 years did not developed more severe coronavirus infections. "Results of the prospective BCG trials currently ongoing are needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn," said coauthor Mihai Netea of Radboud University Medical Center. A separate study from the Mayo Clinic, posted online ahead of peer review, found that people who received other vaccines in the past 5 years - such as against flu, pneumonia, or hepatitis - had lower coronavirus infection rates. Netea said the Mayo Clinic report suggests the "beneficial effects of vaccines may be broader than currently known" and that his team had seen similar data on flu vaccines.
