Vaccines are awesome. I try to get as many as are applicable to me. So this is pretty cool: In addition to its intended purpose, evidence has been growing that the shingles vaccine actually reduces the risk of dementia. Even more reason to be glad that my wife and I are vaccinated for shingles. #vaccines #shingles #shinglesvaccine #dementia https://youtu.be/tqnBeuWoOEk

In case you missed it: getting the #shingles #vaccine lowers your risk of dementia later in live by 20% and even slows the progress of the disease for people already suffering from Alzheimer’s. Shingles itself is awful: painful and even mentally debilitating. So please consider getting the vaccine. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/03/shingles-vaccination-dementia.html
