4 vaccines that can help prevent dementia

Shingles vaccine - Shingles (herpes zoster) is an infection that causes a painful rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox.
A 2025 study published in Nature showed that the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) reduced the risk of dementia by 20%.
If you are eligible for the shingles vaccine (>50 years old in Malaysia), you should get the vaccine, irrespective of your desire to decrease your risk of dementia. Shingles is a painful disease that can lead to lifelong chronic pain or other serious complications.

RSV vaccine - It prevents respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms which can develop into serious lung infections, especially in infants, older adults, and people with chronic medical conditions.
In a 2025 paper published in NPJ Vaccines, the researchers found that the RSV vaccine (as well as the shingles vaccine) was associated with a reduced risk of dementia over 18 months compared with those who received the flu vaccine.

Tdap vaccine - The Tdap vaccine, which prevents tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough), is the adult version of the vaccine. The DTaP vaccine is the version for children.
A 2022 study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society examined over 200,000 patients and found that older adults who received both the shingles and Tdap vaccines had a further reduced risk of dementia compared with those who only received one of the vaccines.

Flu vaccine - The annual seasonal flu vaccine prevents the current circulating strains of the flu.
In a 2022 study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center analyzed a health database of over 1.8 million adults, ages 65 and over. They determined that the group who received at least one flu vaccination was 40% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease during the following four years.
A 2024 study published in NPJ Vaccines showed that the flu vaccine was associated with a 17% reduction in dementia.

When the two professors meet. One is a passionate artist while the other, a kidney specialist.

It was very humbling to know that Prof never stopped working despite the challenges he faced and wants to inspire people who are going through the same situation as him now to do the same.

He wants people who are struggling with dialysis to know that it is not a disability when you have to be on dialysis, you are not crippled by it!

Instead he was so empowered by his love for art that it gave him the strength to do better and be like a normal person again.

Once again, thank you Prof for sharing your work with so much passion and we hope that you get to inspire more people who are facing some challenges with their health and in need of some encouragement. We are honoured to be able to visit ‘s booth during the CIMB ARTOBER event this year and hope to be able to see more of your amazing work in the future.

What is Herpes Zoster?

Also known as Shingles are caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus (Varicella Zoster Virus)
It can be transmitted by direct contact with the infected individual through a vesicle, an ulcerated lesion or airborne aerosols (coughing and sneezing)

After you have chickenpox, the virus can stay dormant in your body for years in the nerve cells and gets activated when you are stressed and/or immunocompromised.

What happens when we get Shingles?
• Painful blistering body rash form some individuals, body aches, fever, tiredness

What happens after Shingles?
• Post Herpetic Neuralgia (nerve pain that can last for > 90 days, can be severe and debilitating with no cure for it)
• Facial nerve palsy (nerves on face becomes paralysed or weak, hearing impairment and vertigo can take place)
• Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (affects the eye and may lead to keratitis, uveitis, glaucoma, cataract and iridocyclitis)

All these risks increase with a decrease in immunity, as observed in individuals aged >50 and immunocompromised (transplant patients, individuals with chronic diseases like CKD, autoimmune disorder)

A 2-dose regime is recommended INTRAMUSCULARLY (injected into the muscle):
• 1st dose
• 2nd dose (2-6 months apart for healthy individuals aged >50, 2 months apart if immunocompromised)

Shingrix vaccine has been evaluated for efficacy between (89% for age group 50) and it gives a long-term protection of at least 10 years post vaccination.

Side effects include pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, tiredness, mild fever and headache which can be resolved with PCM (paracetamol)

DON’T WAIT. VACCINATE!

What is Hepatitis B?

It is a liver disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus which can lead to development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) if left untreated.

It is usually transmitted from mother to child, exposure to drug usage, blood transfusions or in places like a dialysis centre where blood is handled.
Hep B vaccines have been used since 1986.

A 3-dose regime or depending on your doctor’s prescription.

• 1st dose
• 2nd dose – 1 month after the 1st
• 3rd dose – 6 months after the 1st

Since Hep B vaccines have been in the industry for such a long time, they have built an excellent safety profile for themselves so you don’t have to worry about the side effects as they will be minimal.

Eg. Localized pain (at injection site), slight body aches, low grade fever depending from individual to individual.
Adult individuals who have low levels or no antibody against Hep B should be vaccinated against Hepatitis B virus as it can help reduce HCC and liver cirrhosis.

DON’T WAIT. VACCINATE!

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that the liver produces. This compound is not only found in cells all throughout the body, but also in some of the foods you eat. Some cholesterol is good for you and supports healthy functioning, such as vitamin and hormone production.
But when there’s too much cholesterol in the blood, it can lead to health problems.

There are two main types of cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often called “good” cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), known as “bad” cholesterol.
Raised LDL increases the risk of cholesterol build-up in the arteries that can lead to heart attack and stroke.

We all need fat for proper growth and development, including hormone production and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

How to lower cholesterol levels?
1. Focus on moderation
* The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest keeping saturated fat to less than 10% of your daily calories, while the American Heart Association recommends aiming for less than 6%.
2. Increase consumption in heart-healthy fats
* Nuts, olive oil, fatty fish and avocado can effectively help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Take more of these!
3. Go for leaner animal proteins
* Think poultry and fish. When choosing beef or pork, go for leaner cuts and limit portion size as they have less saturated fats. When it comes to dairy, you can opt for nonfat options.
4. Take more plant-based meals
* Soluble fiber found in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils and seeds eg. chia and ground flax seeds can help to lower LDL and total cholesterol levels.
* This type of fiber binds with cholesterol and bile acids, reducing how much they are absorbed into your bloodstream. Plus, they contain small amounts of naturally occurring compounds called plant sterols that can help lower LDL cholesterol.
