SHINGLES RISK
People get most vaccinations as children, but the shingles vaccination is not given until adulthood because the risk for the disease increases with age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting the vaccination around 60 years old. Zostavax and Shingrix vaccinations lower the risk of contracting shingles and last for about five years. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also can lead to chicken pox. Shingles causes painful blisters, usually in a line on your torso on one side of your body. If you’ve already had chicken pox or shingles, you should still consider getting a vaccination because it will reduce the risk of flare-ups. CHRISTINA G.
