Shingrix Vaccine is a recombinant (non‑live) zoster vaccine used to prevent shingles (herpes zoster) and its complications, such as post‑herpetic neuralgia, in adults. It helps the immune system build protection against the varicella‑zoster virus, which causes shingles. It is typically recommended for adults aged 50 years and older and adults 18 years or older who are at increased risk of shingles.

Take Shingrix Vaccine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is administered by intramuscular injection (usually into the upper arm) by a trained healthcare professional. Shingrix is given as two doses, with the second dose typically administered 2 to 6 months after the first dose. Do not self‑administer.

Common side effects may include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, chills, fever, nausea, and gastrointestinal symptoms. These are usually mild to moderate and resolve within a few days. Rare but serious reactions such as severe allergic reactions may occur. Contact your doctor immediately if you have difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or other serious symptoms.

You can obtain Shingrix Vaccine from licensed healthcare providers, vaccination clinics, or hospitals with a prescription or recommendation from your doctor. Contact Macarius Health to check availability and pricing.

Shingrix Vaccine should be stored in a refrigerator between 2 °C and 8 °C and protected from light. Do not freeze the vaccine. Keep it in its original packaging and out of reach of children and pets.

Inform your doctor about all medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking. Some medicines or immune‑suppressing conditions may affect how well the vaccine works or increase the risk of side effects. Your doctor will advise on safe timing and any necessary precautions.

Shingrix Vaccine was not studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and there are no sufficient data on safety in these groups. Discuss the risks and potential benefits with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
