IF YOU'VE EVER HAD CHICKENPOX, YOU COULD GET SHINGLES NOW.
The chickenpox virus is still in your body. It can resurface as Shingles, a painful, blistering rash.
And your chances of developing Shingles increase substantially after age 60.
ZOSTAVAX is a vaccine th a t can help prevent Shingles.
Once you reach age 60, the sooner you get vaccinated, the better your chances of protecting yourself.
ZOSTAVAX cannot be used to treat Shingles, or the nerve pain that may follow Shingles, once you have it.
ZOSTAVAX is used to prevent Shingles in adults 60 years o f age or older.
ZOSTAVAX is given as a single shot. Talk to your health care professional to see if ZOSTAVAX
is right for you.
