Did you know you can prevent shingles?
Shingles is a painful rash that develops on one side of the face or body. 
People often have pain, itching, or tingling in the area where the rash will develop before it appears.
This may happen several days before the rash appears.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends adults ages 50 and older get two doses of the shingles vaccine called Shingrix.
Who should get Shingrix?
Shingrix – also known as the recombinant zoster  vaccine – prevents people from getting shingles and complications from the disease.
Shingrix is recommended for adults ages 50 and older. 
You should get Shingrix even if . . .
* If you have received Zostavax, talk to your health care provider to determine the best time to get Shingrix.
You have had shingles before
You have received a Zostavax* vaccine
You have received a varicella vaccine (also known as a chickenpox vaccine)
Who should get Shingrix?
The vaccine should be given as a 2-dose series 2 to 6 months apart.
Shingrix provides strong protection against shingles.
Shingrix is more than 90% effective at preventing shingles in adults ages 50 and older who have healthy immune systems.
Shingrix causes a strong response in your immune system, so it may cause short-term side effects.
What about side effects? 
The side effects of Shingrix are temporary and usually last 2 to 3 days. 
While you may experience pain for a few days, the pain will be less severe than having shingles and the complications from the disease.
You should NOT get Shingrix . . .
Who should NOT get Shingrix?
If you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine or after a dose of Shingrix
If you currently have shingles
If you are pregnant (women who are pregnant should wait to get Shingrix)
Reach out to your health care provider to discuss getting covered!
