“Older people who received the vaccine for shingles had a 20% lower risk of dementia, according to researchers who called the results “remarkable”.

The study looked into the health records of seniors in Wales and revealed that those who received the shingles vaccine were 20% less likely to develop dementia over the next seven years than those who didn’t receive the jab.

Scientists say the findings support an emerging theory that viruses which affect the nervous system can increase the risk of dementia.”
