What Is The Shingles Vaccine?
Shingles is a painful rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. It can appear decades later and may lead to long-lasting nerve pain. The Shingles (Shingrix) vaccine helps protect you from developing shingles and its complications.
It is recommended for adults aged 50 and over and is given as two doses, 2 to 6 months apart, for full protection. The vaccine is safe, effective, and reduces your risk of severe shingles and post-shingles nerve pain.
Getting vaccinated now is the best way to protect yourself against shingles and its complications.
