IF YOU HAD CHICKENPOX AS A CHILD,

YOU COULD GET SHINGLES NOW.

The chickenpox virus is still in your body.

It can resurface as Shingles, a painful, blistering rash. The Shingles rash

usually lasts up to 30 days, and for most the pain lessens as the rash

heals. But some people who develop Shingles experience long-term

pain that can last for months, even years.

ZOSTAVAX is a vaccine that can help prevent Shingles.

ZOSTAVAX is used to prevent Shingles in adults 60 years of age or

older. Once you reach age 60, the sooner you get vaccinated, the

better your chances of protecting yourself from Shingles. ZOSTAVAX

is given as a single shot. ZOSTAVAX cannot be used to treat Shingles,

or the nerve pain that may follow Shingles, once you have it. Talk to

your health care professional to see if ZOSTAVAX is right for you.

Important Safety Information

ZOSTAVAX may not fully protect everyone who gets the vaccine.

You should not get ZOSTAVAX if you are allergic to any of its

ingredients, including gelatin and neomycin, have a weakened

immune system, take high doses of steroids, or are pregnant or plan to

become pregnant. Possible side effects include redness, pain, itching,

swelling, warmth, or bruising at the injection site, as well as headache.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription

drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Before getting vaccinated, talk to your health care professional about

situations you may need to avoid after getting ZOSTAVAX. Please see

the Patient Product Information on the adjacent page.

Before you get Shingles, ask about ZOSTAVAX.
