Epidemiology United States statistics In the United States, approximately 95% of adults—and 99.5% of adults aged 40 years or older—have antibodies to VZV and thus are vulnerable to reactivation of infection. [41] A person of any age with a previous varicella[emedicine.medscape.com]

Shingles is a highly preventable disease. The most important prevention method is the shingles vaccine or herpes zoster vaccine (Zostavax). This vaccine cuts the risk of the disease in half .[healthline.com]

These medicines may also help prevent lingering pain. A vaccine may prevent shingles or lessen its effects. The vaccine is recommended for people 60 or over. In some cases doctors may give it to people ages 50 to 59.[fpnotebook.com]
