Research shows the following:

- Vaccination against pneumonia between the ages of 65 and 75 (depending on individual genes) reduced the risk of Alzheimer's by up to 40%.
- Individuals with dementia have a 6 times higher risk of dying after infection than those without dementia (3 times).
The study found that the best results were seen in people who started getting flu shots at an early age.
