Dementia is no joke. Get your shingles vax, and for that matter other applicable vax's, too. There is a significant reduction in risk of dementia for shingles, and RSV, flu, and covid vax's. Proposed mechanism is general reduction in neural inflammation.

    I wish I could get my shingles vax. I fall into this stupid age range where I was born and caught chicken pox before its vaccination existed, but I'm still "too young" to receive the shingles vaccination. Never mind that I've seen younger people than me experience shingles, and that shit's no joke. I'd get the vaccine in a heartbeat if it were possible.

    Alas, I'll just have to hope I don't spontaneously develop it within the next 12 or so years.

    If I had shingles as a teenager, is the vaccine still recommended?

    Is this recent science? My partner was talking about the shingles dementia risk just the other day. Right before I got my yearly vaccinations!

    I thought she was hilarious on this show and figured she'd be a good comedian.

    Than I watched her Netflix special...

    I pulled a band tee out of my closet yesterday and saw the tour date. I said to myself, I'm so glad I went a couple months ago. It was fucking April.
