Herpes zoster vaccine
The Most Effective Method of Preventing "shingles"
Immunization with the Herpes zoster vaccine is the most effective preventive method so far. The human immune system will gradually weaken with age, making the latent ” shingles ” virus more likely to reactivate. Since general analgesics do not relieve the pain in the affected area and have many side effects, it is very important to consult the doctor and get vaccination as soon as possible. Zostavax was the first to prevent both severe pain and sequelae neuralgia caused by “shingles” (70%).
