3. How Long-Lasting Is It?
The protection provided by the shingles vaccine will wear off after a period of time. Unlike other vaccines that have a predictable period of how long one can be immune before needing a booster shot, the time period of the shingles vaccine is often ambiguous.
A doctor may be able to determine when it is time for booster shingles shot. This is one reason why it is essential to see a doctor on a regular basis, especially if one is vulnerable to shingles. Your physician can detect the need for an additional shot.
