Facts about Shingles and Zostavax:

  • Shingles is a painful skin rash, often with blisters
  • 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.
  • Only someone who has had a case of chickenpox, or gotten the chickenpox vaccine, can get shingles. The chickenpox virus stays in your body and it can reappear many years later to cause a case of shingles.
  • More common in people 50 and older than in younger people.
  • At least 1 million people a year in the United States get shingles.
  • A single dose of shingles vaccine is indicated for adults 50 years of age and older.
