When the virus that caused your chickenpox as a child becomes active again, you develop shingles. Doctors are baffled as to why this occurs. When the virus awakens, it causes stinging and tingling in your skin, which can continue up to 5 days. Then blisters emerge on your body or face, usually in a strip down one side. A fever, an upset stomach, headaches, and chills are all possible symptoms. The rashes usually fade after a month, but shingles can cause long-term nerve damage and pain, particularly in persons over 50 or who are immunocompromised.

In the United States, one out of every three people will have shingles at some point in their lives, amounting to around one million people per year. It can strike at any age, but it becomes more common as you become older. That's why most adults over the age of 50 should get a shingles vaccine.

What vaccines can help prevent shingles?

In the United States, just one shingles vaccine is currently available. Shingrix (RZV) was licenced in 2017 and is 90 percent effective in shingles prevention. Shingrix requires two doses spaced between two and six months apart, with protection lasting around 4-5 years. It is recommended by doctors for healthy adults over the age of 50, as well as those 19 and older who are or will be immunodeficient or immunosuppressed as a result of disease or medication.

Zostavax, a previous vaccination, was taken off the market in 2020. That vaccination activated your immune system to combat the disease by using a weak strain of the chickenpox virus. Shingrix, on the other hand, does not. If you've already had the Zostavax vaccine, you should have Shingrix as well.
