4 vaccines that are linked to a lower risk of dementia – The Washington Post

Both the Washington Post and the Times of India are reporting on research suggesting a link between certain vaccinations and a reduced risk of developing dementia. While specific details may vary between articles, the core message is that vaccines for diseases like influenza, pneumonia, shingles, and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis (Tdap) may be associated with a lower likelihood of developing the progressive neurodegenerative condition. The articles imply further research is needed to fully understand the relationship and establish causality, but highlight the potential protective benefits of these common vaccines against dementia.
