Shingles vaccine…Dementia prevention…connecting the dots

Sometimes, the biggest impact comes from the simplest protection.

Sometimes, the biggest impact comes from the simplest protection.

New research suggests a powerful connection: getting the shingles vaccine may reduce your risk of developing dementia.
It’s more than protecting against a painful rash — it’s about protecting your brain.

Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which lies dormant in the body after chickenpox.
When reactivated, it doesn’t just cause a rash — it may also trigger inflammation that affects the brain.

Recent studies have shown a significantly lower risk of dementia in people who’ve had the shingles vaccine.

We’re still learning exactly why. But the evidence is growing. And the message is clear:
Prevention matters.
