Shingles Vaccination Insights

Shingles rates have been on the rise, even prior to vaccination campaigns, and the reasons behind this trend remain unclear. Two vaccines are available for shingles, with one being a live attenuated vaccine and the other a recombinant version introduced in 2017. Interestingly, despite a slow rollout and fluctuating supply, there has been a slight decline in shingles incidence recently, but the factors contributing to this change are still a mystery.
