Have you had the shingles vaccine on the NHS or privately because you hoped it might lower your dementia risk? We’d like to hear from you

Sales of shingles jabs have increased after studies have claimed that it could reduce the risk of dementia and we’d like to hear from people who have been influenced by the findings to get the vaccine.

Have you had the shingles vaccine in the past two years, either on the NHS or privately, because you hoped it might lower your dementia risk?

We’d also like to hear from people who are not eligible for the vaccine on the NHS and would like to pay for it privately but have been put off by the cost. A full course of two doses can cost around £450.
