Shingles Vaccine Information
Filed Under Shingles Vaccine Basics | 1 Comment
One of the major news stories in the last few years has been the development of a shingles vaccine. While many people are not sure if the shingles vaccine is right for them, those who have taken the vaccine have had mixed results and reactions to the new medication.
As with any new medication or vaccine that comes to the market, the shingles vaccine will not work for everyone. The confusion seems to lie in the fact that there is lots of misinformation about the shingles vaccine and who it is working best for and if you should take it or not.
Many doctors are recommending anyone over the age of 60 to get the shingles vaccine. This is because the shingles disease commonly attacks those over 50 and also anyone with a decreased or diminished immune suppresive system. If you have HIV or cancer it is highly recommended that you NOT receive the shingles vaccine.
One of the leading shingles vaccines is Zostavax. Many people have had good luck with little or no reactions to the vaccine at all so far. Some minor side effects of the Zostavax shot have included a headache, pain at the injection site and some minor tenderness or swelling also.
While the shingles vaccine generally works in everyone that has taken it, there are some reports online about it either not helping prevent a shingles outbreak or causing a shingles attack. The best information that you can receive is to check with your doctor about whether the shingles vaccine is right for you.
