Shingles

Guard Against Shingles: Stay Protected.

Shingles is a painful viral infection that can lead to a blistering rash and intense nerve pain. Fortunately, you can take steps to protect yourself by getting the shingles vaccine.

What Is Shingles?

Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox. After a chickenpox infection, the virus can remain dormant in your nerve cells for years, later reactivating to cause shingles.

Common Symptoms of Shingles

  • A painful, blistering rash, often localized to one side of the body
  • Intense nerve pain
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Fatigue

The Shingles Vaccine: Your Best Defence

The shingles vaccine is highly effective in preventing the infection and reducing its severity. It is recommended for adults aged 50 and older.

Why Vaccination Matters

  • Prevention: The vaccine significantly lowers your risk of developing shingles.

  • Milder Symptoms: If shingles does occur after vaccination, the illness is typically less severe.

  • Long-Lasting Protection: The vaccine offers durable protection against the virus.
