My personal best guess is no. That a low-level shingles infection getting into your brain can cause Alzheimer's. And therefore a shingles infection creates a risk of Alzheimer's.

We do not actually know the mechanism by which the vaccine helps. Nor do I have any evidence or data supporting my guess.
