· Those who wish to boost their immune system response.

Shingrix Vaccine is a preventive immunization developed to protect against shingles, also called herpes zoster, as well as its most common complication, post-herpetic neuralgia. Shingles develops when the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox, becomes active again. This reactivation is more likely with advancing age or when the immune system becomes weaker. Shingrix Vaccine was designed to provide strong and long-lasting protection, making it one of the most effective tools available for reducing the risk of shingles outbreaks.

Shingrix Vaccine uses a recombinant protein combined with an adjuvant system. This technology helps the immune system recognize and respond more powerfully to the virus, without using a live component. The benefits of receiving this vaccine extend beyond preventing shingles rashes. It can also lower the chance of developing severe and long-lasting nerve pain that can continue months or even years after an outbreak. Preventing these complications reduces hospital admissions, improves daily comfort, and minimizes interruptions to normal routines.

Shingrix Vaccine begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this stage, the doctor reviews health history, age, and immune status to confirm suitability for vaccination. The consultation helps determine the right schedule and ensures no current infections or conditions would interfere with the process. This initial step usually requires a short visit of around 15 to 20 minutes.

Once suitability is confirmed, the first dose of Shingrix Vaccine is given, most often into the upper arm. The actual injection takes only a few seconds, with the entire appointment usually lasting less than 30 minutes. The second dose is scheduled for a later date, typically between 2 to 6 months after the first dose, to complete the series and provide the strongest immune protection. Mild side effects such as temporary soreness, fatigue, or low-grade fever may appear, but these usually resolve within 1 to 3 days. Overall, the process is quick, straightforward, and highly effective in reducing the long-term burden of shingles.
