Flu Vaccines in Alzheimer’s Disease
Vaccine distrust and misinformation is at an all-time high. One claim is that vaccines are responsible for dementias, like Alzheimer’s Disease. A recent database study may show the exact opposite. Join host, Geoff Wall, with guest, Jake Galdo, to discuss the role of vaccines and other therapies in the prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease.
The GameChanger
A recent large propensity matched retrospective database study found that the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease was LOWER in persons who received regular influenza vaccines compared to unvaccinated individuals.
