New research shows that a vaccine aimed at preventing the painful shingles virus may also lower the risk of dementia. Dementia affects more than 55 million people worldwide, and those numbers are expected to grow over the next 20 years.

Meantime... although one-in-three adults will get shingles, many are still opting out of the vaccine. Dr. Richard Ferguson joined me to talk about the effectiveness of the vaccine and what causes the virus.
