Service Description
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the same virus that causes varicella (chickenpox). Herpes zoster is a disease pervaded by painful red spots that appears in band-like pattern with blisters. Anyone who has had chickenpox has a chance of getting the disease. Almost 1 out of 3 people will develop shingles in their lifetime and it is more common in older adults or children. In some cases, getting the virus in eyes and ears can lead to blindness or deafness.
95% of adults are at risk of getting herpes zoster, and the risk increases significantly after the age of 50. 1 out of 3 people will develop the disease in their lifetime. While the suffering can be very painful, vaccination can reduce the chance of getting the disease by half in people aged 50-80. It can also help reduce the severity of nerve pain when having shingles or when it recurs.
