Shingles vaccine may slow biological aging in seniors
Emerging evidence links shingles vaccination to subtle shifts in molecular aging For decades, vaccines have guarded against infectious diseases; today, researchers are increasingly probing whether certain vaccines might influence the aging process itself. A recent wave of studies using blood-based aging clocks—biomarkers that estimate an individual’s biological age from molecular signatures—points to a modest slowing…

Shingles Vaccine May Slow Molecular Aging in Older Adults, Early Signals from Blood Clocks
Shingles Vaccine and the Aging Process: What the New Clues Suggest Researchers are turning to blood-based aging clocks to understand how vaccines influence aging at the molecular level. In a recent line of investigation, scientists examined whether receiving the shingles vaccine—designed to prevent herpes zoster and its painful complications—might slow certain aging processes in older…

Shingles Vaccine Slows Aging: Insights from Aging Clocks
New clues on aging and vaccines Emerging research suggests that getting a shingles vaccine may modestly slow certain molecular aging processes in older adults. The findings come from analyses that compare biological age indicators, measured in blood, between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. While not a cure-all for aging, the study points to a potential, measurable…
