Shingles Vaccination: Potential Protection Against Dementia

This podcast discusses a new study that indicates a significant association between the Herpes Zoster (shingles) vaccination and a reduced risk of dementia over seven years. This research, based on a "natural experiment" in Wales, suggests that the vaccination could lower the risk by about 20%, with the protective effect being particularly pronounced in women.
