Do I really need the Shingrix vaccine?

Shingles is common, affecting 1 out of 3 adults in the U.S. in their lifetime. The shingles vaccine (Shingrix) can help prevent shingles and long-term nerve pain, a common complication. Certain people have a greater risk of shingles and could especially benefit from getting the shingles vaccine. Shingrix is recommended for adults age 50 and older and people age 19 and older with weakened immune systems.
