Shingles – you don't want to get it. Get vaccinated!
Shingles is not just an itchy rash. It also causes severe pain that sometimes lasts for many months or even years. It can cause scarring or discolouration of the skin, decreased visual acuity or loss of vision, facial nerve palsy, hearing impairment, meningitis, decreased quality of life, insomnia and depression.
These are complications that may occur if you contract shingles - a serious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Therefore, it is worth protecting yourself against shingles.
Get vaccinated against shingles. Reduce the risk of illness, avoid pain and complications.
