An Unexpected Role for Routine Vaccinations in Reducing the Risk for Developing Alzheimer’s Disease

Learn how routine vaccinations may reduce the risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 30 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians.

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Understand the potential role for routine influenza vaccination in reducing the risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
• Learn the potential role for routine pneumococcal, shingles, and D-TAP vaccinations in reducing the risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
• Understand how these vaccinations may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
