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.
There are half a dozen studies with the same conclusions. The best was in UK, where because of some stupid rule, people born a week later could not get Shingrex, so they ended up with a huge control population. Interestingly, the protective effect is only seen in women.
But other studies show protection effects from all vaccines in elderly.
