Facts about Shingles and Zostavax:

• also called Herpes Zoster.
• Shingles rash usually appears on one side of the face or body and lasts from 2 to 4 weeks.
• Primary symptom is pain, which can be quite severe.
• Shingles is caused by the Varicella Zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox.
