Shingrix Vaccination: Protection against Varicella Zoster Virus (Shingles) | |
Who | Adults who have had chickenpox in childhood, who could be more than 90%, are at risk of getting Shingles. This vaccination is recommended for those 50 years or older. |
What | The Varicella Zoster Virus, also known as the Shingles Virus, is a painful viral infection caused by the same virus that causes Chickenpox. As we age, our immune system naturally weakens. As a result, this virus may reactivate, increasing the risk of developing Shingles as an adult. Shingles can lead to debilitating nerve pain that can last months or years. |
When | If you are 50 or over, talk with a ConnectCare Pharmacist to see if the Shingrix vaccination is right for you. |
