Shingrix is not only good to protect you from nerve-eating Shingles (chicken pox) as an older person, but it also offers some protection against dementia.
"Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox, a common childhood illness. After recovery, VZV quietly hides in the nervous system for decades, but can re-emerge to cause shingles when the immune system is compromised or due to age or stress. (1/4)
