ALZHEIMERS NEWS-ANOTHER REASON TO GET YOUR VAXXINATIONS
thats me speaking at last years 2022 walk to end alzheimers in santa barbara
the first walk we did since we skipped 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic
our 2023 walk to end alzheimers will be saturday October 14th
it will be our 14th year to do the walks
join us and or donate to our team
i just read an article on the three vaxxines that someone my age should be getting this year in the fall
i always say i want to die from something i couldnt prevent
these 3 germs kill older folks
getting vaxxinated against them can prevent that from happening
it also prevents you from feeling bad even if you were to catch a mild case
these vaxxines are
rsv or respiratory syncytial virus
flu
covid
yes
you can catch these from your grandkids and travel and interacting with others
so
do some prevention and get your 3 shots this fall
now i have to time mine between my monthly infusions
10 days before or 10 days after my infusion
i plan on getting my flu and covid together and my rsv at another day
the covid always makes me feel bad for a couple of days
im not sure how the rsv will make me feel
thus
2 shots one day and 1 shot another time
you can get all 3 at once but im not going to do that
im watching for the newest version of the covid shot this fall
then after reading about the 3 vaxxines this fall i saw this article linked here
it says that getting vaxxinated can lower you risk of getting alzheimers
eg
getting a flu shot each year can lower your risk by 40%
that should make you want to get a flu shot each year
now the same researchers have found that getting a tdap or td shot a hz or shingles shot and a pneumococcal shot can lower the risk by 30%, 25% 27% respectively
the thinking is that these shots stimulate the immune system which influences the development of alzheimers in a good way
so
there are two good reasons to get your vaxxines
not dying from infection
alzheimers prevention
sounds like good reasons to me
