4 vaccines linked to a lower risk of dementia. Some vaccine-preventable diseases are linked to accelerated brain atrophy and increased dementia risk years down the line. (This is probably too late for some posters here) Vaccines don’t just protect us from infectious diseases or lessen their effects. Some are also associated with a reduced risk for dementia, research shows. “They’ll protect against these really potentially severe infections, especially in older adults, and preventing that alone is huge,” said Avram Bukhbinder, a resident physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston who has conducted research on vaccines and dementia risk. “There seems to also be some kind of added benefit and ultimately it just adds a more compelling reason” to get routine vaccines, he said. Research shows vaccines may reduce dementia risk, with flu, shingles, RSV and Tdap vaccines linked to lower dementia rates. Studies suggest vaccines protect against severe infections, which are associated with dementia. The CDC recommends routine vaccinations, though fewer than half of Americans get flu shots annually.
