In theory, yes, but since the chickenpox vaccine was only introduced in the US in 1995, it's still early to investigate if those who got this vaccine will be at a lower risk of dementia.

After all, dementia mainly develops after age 60. So probably by 2050, we may know if the chickenpox vaccine actually helps protect against dementia as well.
