Eight vaccines that reduce your risk of dementia
Ranked from most effect to least:
1. Shingles (Shingrix).
2. RSV (Arexvy).
3. Annual Flu vaccine.
4. DTP or Td (without Pertussis component).
5. Pneumococcus vaccines (multiple preparations).
6. Hepatitis A or the combined Hepatitis A/Typhoid vaccine.
7. Hepatitis B.
8. Typhoid.
The strongest evidence exists for shingles, flu, RSV, pneumococcal and diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis-containing (DTP) vaccines. Researchers believe vaccination may reduce dementia risk by preventing infections that cause brain inflammation, though some evidence points to a more general immune effect.
