No. That rumor has been attributed to one doctor whose license has since been suspended by the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners.

 

As a matter of fact, the Alzheimer's Association reports that flu shots and other vaccinations may actually be linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease and overall better health.
