Vaccines May Offer Double Protection Against Dementia, Study Suggests

Lower risk of dementia with AS01-adjuvanted vaccination against shingles and respiratory syncytial virus infections

AS01-adjuvanted shingles (herpes zoster) vaccination is associated with a lower risk of dementia, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In propensity-score matched cohort studies with 436,788 individuals, both the AS01-adjuvanted shingles and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines, individually or combined, were associated with reduced 18-month risk of dementia. No difference was observed between the two AS01-adjuvanted vaccines, sugges…

RSV Vaccine Tied to Lower Dementia Risk

(MedPage Today) -- Two AS01-adjuvanted vaccines for different pathogens -- the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (Arexvy) and the recombinant shingles vaccine (Shingrix) -- were tied to a lower dementia risk, an analysis of over 400...

Could a vaccine adjuvant be protective against dementia?

Scientists behind a study suggesting GSK's RSV vaccine may be protective against dementia have said the adjuvant used in it may be responsible.

Vaccine for RSV shown to reduce the risk of dementia

A new study by the University of Oxford, published in the journal npj Vaccines, shows that a vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with a 29% reduction in dementia risk in the following 18 months. The findings suggest a novel explanation for how vaccines produce this effect.

Vaccines may offer double protection against dementia_ study suggests

Some vaccines may reduce the risk of dementia through a double effect in which the jabs help protect the brain through their added “adjuvant” chemicals as well as by suppressing viruses,
