What Is Shingrix Vaccine?
Shingrix Vaccine is an FDA-approved vaccine designed to prevent shingles (herpes zoster), a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus. It is administered as a 2-dose series, typically 2 to 6 months apart. Shingrix provides over 90% effectiveness in preventing shingles in adults aged 50 and above, and offers long-lasting protection. By strengthening the immune system, it reduces the likelihood of developing shingles and helps maintain quality of life, especially in older adults.
How It Works
Shingrix Vaccine is a non-live recombinant vaccine that uses a protein component of the varicella zoster virus, combined with an adjuvant (AS01B) to boost the body’s immune response. It is given via intramuscular injection, usually in the upper arm. The immune system is activated to recognize and fight the virus if it reactivates later in life. Completing both doses is essential for optimal protection.
