For those living with dementia, new study suggests shingles vaccine could slow the disease
A new analysis of a vaccination program in Wales found that the shingles vaccine not only appeared to lower new dementia diagnoses by 20%, it also helped those who already have the disease.

I'd rather not have shingles. A couple of bad days after getting the vaccine was no big deal. Shingles may also reduce dementia risk (as studies suggest it might). That is well worth it. Dementia took my dad and I would wish that on no one.
