A shingles shot might do more than prevent a painful rash — it could actually help slow down the aging process. In a large national study of more than 3,800 Americans age 70 and older, those who received the shingles vaccine showed slower biological aging compared to those who didn’t. Researchers found lower levels of chronic inflammation and slower changes in gene activity linked to aging, suggesting the vaccine may calm the body’s “inflammaging” — the low-grade inflammation tied to heart disease, frailty, and cognitive decline.
