What You Need to Know About Shingles
Shingles often starts with sharp, burning pain followed by a blistering rash on one side of the body. It doesn’t stop there—fever, headaches, and chills can make you feel miserable. Even after the rash heals, many people suffer from nerve pain that lasts for months or even years, disrupting daily life.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
- Adults aged 50 and above (whether or not you’ve had shingles before)
- Adults unsure if they’ve had chickenpox
- Adults previously vaccinated with Zostavax
- Immunodeficient or immunosuppressed adults aged 19 and above
Why Choose Vaccination?
- Significantly reduces your risk of shingles
- If shingles occurs, symptoms are milder and recovery is faster
- Prevents long-term nerve pain after an outbreak
- Already had shingles? Vaccination helps prevent it from coming back
- Proven safe and effective in numerous studies
- Improves your quality of life by avoiding painful complications
