Zoster shots are two vaccines which have proved to significantly lower the incidence of shingles. The first, Zosterrix is basically a high-dose chickenpox vaccination, just as shingles and chickenpox occur from the same virus. However, since there is no associated shingles, there is no need to worry about developing chickenpox while being vaccinated for zoster, unlike with many other vaccines. This leads to more reliable data on which vaccination works better than others and what the side effects are for using one or the other.
Although chicken pox is not associated with shingles, it is still important to keep your immunity levels up so that you are less likely to get chicken pox. If your children are vaccinated against chicken pox, they are less likely to get chicken pox or shingles as adults.
So what does the evidence say about zoster shots? This evidence has come from studies that have looked at the effectiveness of zoster shots against shingles. It has also looked at how people react to them and to the risks involved with them. It has also looked at how effective a vaccine is in preventing new cases of shingles.
Studies have also shown that the chicken pox vaccine may be less effective against shingles than previously thought. This is mainly due to the fact that people who receive one shingles shot may develop chicken pox several months after the shingles vaccine was given. In this case, shingles may be an easier disease to catch if you already have chicken pox.
Also, those who have not yet had a chicken pox shot may be particularly vulnerable to contracting shingles. It has also been found that people who have never had chicken pox are more likely to develop shingles than those who have had chicken pox before. This is probably because chicken pox may weaken the immune system and make people more susceptible to catching chicken pox. or shingles.
Also, people who are pregnant and those who smoke are more at risk of getting shingles
This is because their immune systems are not strong enough to fight off the chicken pox virus that can cause shingles. and because of the harmful effects smoking can have on pregnant women. However, studies have also suggested that this correlation is not so clear cut; people who are pregnant do not have as much risk of getting shingles when compared with those who are not pregnant.
One important thing to note is that you should not stop the shingles shot just because you have been given a positive result in the laboratory. If you have a positive result, it does not mean you will have shingles. It simply means you have the vaccine and you will get some protection against shingles. But even if you have a positive result, you may experience side effects like fever, nausea or vomiting, fatigue, or joint pain. It is best to check with your doctor first to find out if the symptoms are too much to bear.
If you have positive results, continue with the shingles shot as long as you feel comfortable and have had the results checked in the laboratory. If the symptoms persist after one month, you should consult with your doctor. For those who do not have shingles, you may still want to see a doctor. Even if you get the shingles shot, there are chances that you may still get shingles.
As for the side effects of the shingles shot, all of them will probably go away within a couple of weeks. These side effects include fever, nausea, vomiting, and headache. But if these side effects last more than a week or if you are already showing any of them, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Also, if you get sick while receiving the shingles shot, the effects of the vaccine may wear off, leaving you with a recurring bout of shingles that is just as bad as the first time.
There are also side effects that are not related to the vaccine. These side effects include fever, rash, redness of the eyes and nose, skin rashes, diarrhea, dizziness, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, chills, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
So, although you might be happy to hear that the shot has protected you against shingles, it is important that you continue using your shingles shot even if the negative side effect of the shot has gone away. If you are not completely healthy anymore, you can always get a booster shot.
