Shingles shot may shield seniors from heart attacks and dementia
NCT ID NCT07485283
Summary
This large study aims to find out if getting the shingles vaccine can also help prevent major heart problems and dementia in older adults. About 162,000 people in Denmark aged 65 and older will be randomly chosen to either receive the two-dose shingles vaccine or not receive it. Researchers will then use national health records to track whether the vaccine group has fewer heart attacks, strokes, or new dementia diagnoses over time.
