The Shingles vaccine.
Two zoster vaccines have been approved for use in people over 50 years old.
Shingrix (GSK) is a recombinant subunit vaccine which has been used in many countries since 2017.
Zostavax (Merck) is an attenuated vaccine which consists of a larger-than-normal dose of chickenpox vaccine. …
Shingrix is 2 shots at least 2 month apart. Zostavax only one.
In Canada the cost of Shingrix is about CA$300 for the two doses.
I’ll ask my doctor before making a final decision.
