Abstract
The Herpes Zoster Vaccine is an effective and safe tool used to lessen the chance of getting herpes zoster (shingles) and a complication of shingles called “post-herpetic neuralgia” in adults over 60 years of age. It also proves to be a good tool at decreasing the harshness and length of illness in the event a vaccinated individual does get shingles.
