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.
I was sweating the Shingles shots (it’s 2 shots, 2 months apart), because I didn’t want to get shingles, and kick myself the entire time for procrastinating. When I walked out after the second shot, knowing I was protected, I actually felt good.

Now it’s helping against dementia, too? Awesome.
I can’t get it because I’m too old now.
Weird, all information about the shingles vaccine I’ve seen just says 50 or older.
In Canada, if you’re over 50, it’s apparently free-to-you with your continuing yearly subscription to our government as a bundle.
Over 65. Not 50.
