According to the CDC the shingles vaccine reduces the risk of an individual contracting shingles by 51%. However, as the patient ages, the shingles vaccine becomes less effective when paired with an aging immune system. If you’re on the fence about getting the shingles vaccine, then we highly recommend that seriously consider getting the shot. The vaccine cuts your chances of getting the illness in half!
