“the risk of dementia was 17% lower in those who received Shingrix compared with Zostavax”

Link. Intriguing in many directions. Can’t show causation but effect was expected.

“When a shingles vaccine, Zostavax, was first rolled out in 2006, a number of studies found hints that the risk of dementia seemed to be lower in those who got the shots.”

If animal studies agree Shingrix will be a popular vaccine.
