Who should and shouldn’t get the shingles vaccine?

 Shingles is most common in people over the age of 50. This is why adults over the age of 50 should get the shingles vaccine.

The only shingles vaccine licenced by the US Food and Drug Administration is Shingrix (FDA).

It's a recombinant vaccine called Shingrix. This indicates that vaccine makers developed it by modifying and purifying DNA that triggers an immune response to combat the virus.

Shingrix is recommended by the CDCTrusted Source for the prevention of shingles and its consequences. Anyone who has already had another type of shingles vaccine should get the Shingrix vaccine.

The Shingrix vaccine is currently recommended by the CDC for healthy persons aged 50 and up. The vaccination is administered in two doses, two to six months apart, by doctors.

According to the "Coherent Market Insights" Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis of Shingles Vaccine Market.

Who isn't a candidate for the shingles vaccine?

Before having the shingles vaccine, there are a few things to think about:

Allergies

Some people may experience an adverse reaction to components in the shingles vaccine.

If you've had a severe reaction to the Shingrix vaccination's first dose, or if you've had a severe allergy to one of the vaccine's components, or if you have shingles now, or if you're breastfeeding or pregnant, don't get the Shingrix vaccine.

If a person tests negative for the virus, the chickenpox vaccination should be given instead.

 

Fever

You can still obtain the Shingrix vaccine if you have a small viral disease (like a common cold). Wait to obtain the Shingrix vaccine if your temperature is higher than 101.3°F (38.5°C).

 

Immune system dysfunction

People with a weakened immune system should exercise caution. People with low immune systems have gotten sick from the varicella zoster virus contained in the vaccine in extremely rare circumstances.

 

If you feel you have a weaker immune system, consult your doctor.
