According to Copilot AI: "A recent study suggests the vaccine may lower the risk of cognitive decline. People who got a Shingrix vaccine were less likely to develop dementia than people who got an older vaccine. The newer vaccine contains an inactivated form of the herpes zoster virus plus an immune booster."
And if you're still attacking the off road bike trails of the OC, that should help too.
I turned 88 last year and have some short term memory issues, but just have to shrug my shoulders and push on. What's interesting is that my long term memory is still good, good enough that I sometimes wonder, why in the heck would I remember that?
