A study led by Brown University researchers found that older adults who received the shingles vaccine currently used in the U.S. were less likely to be diagnosed with dementia within four years.
For some reason i think of the myth that got spread around about wine being healthy for your heart. Are we sure it’s not just a correlation that people who get the vaccine tend to be in a better position to stay healthy than those that may not be able to or refuse the vaccine?
As my doctor said when she said I should get the vaccine: If this study is true, it’s great it great, but even if this study turns out to be false, it doesn’t matter because I should get the vaccine anyway.

Shingles is a herpes. Other herpes viruses are also linked to dementia. It’s probably not a coincidence.
