Dr. Rangoli Jirwankar dermatologist from wagholi suggest about to take zoster vaccine. here is general information about zoster vaccine The zoster vaccine is designed to protect against shingles, also known as herpes zoster, which is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox). There are two main types of zoster vaccines: Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL): This is a live attenuated vaccine and is marketed under the brand name Zostavax. It's typically recommended for adults aged 60 and older. The vaccine reduces the risk of developing shingles and its complications. Recombinant Zoster Vaccine (RZV): Known as Shingrix, this is a newer, non-live vaccine. It's recommended for adults aged 50 and older, and it has shown to be more effective than Zostavax in preventing shingles and its complications. Shingrix requires two doses, given 2 to 6 months apart. Both vaccines can help reduce the risk of shingles and its complications, such as postherpetic neuralgia. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to determine which vaccine is best for you based on your health and medical history. #zostervaccine #DrRangoliJirwankar #preventofpostherpeticneuralgia #preventofpainofnagin #wagholi #kesnand#koregaonbhima
