Getting vaccinated against shingles, pneumonia and other illnesses could potentially reduce adults’ risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, a new study found.
The study was recently published online in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. "This must be studied carefully, but there is a growing body of evidence that regular vaccines are associated with decreased Alzheimer’s risk."
