Two doses of Shingrix provide strong protection against shingles and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the most common complication of shingles.

In adults 50 to 69 years old with healthy immune systems, Shingrix was 97% effective in preventing shingles; in adults 70 years and older, Shingrix was 91% effective.

In adults 50 years and older, Shingrix was 91% effective in preventing PHN; in adults 70 years and older, Shingrix was 89% effective.

In adults with weakened immune systems, Shingrix was between 68% and 91% effective in preventing shingles, depending on their underlying immunocompromising condition.

In people 70 years and older who had healthy immune systems, Shingrix immunity remained high throughout 7 years following vaccination.

Vaccination Review

Are you up to date on boosters for COVID-19? What about tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough)? Then there are…

Shingles Vaccine May Be Used To Protect Against Dementia

A GSK GSK spokeswoman confirmed that the company is looking at whether Shingrix could be a treatment to prevent dementia in addition to shingles. “There is a growing body of evidence evaluating whether shingles vaccination may reduce the risk for dementia,” she told MarketWatch in a statement. “Further research is needed, and GSK is actively investigating to generate additional evidence to understand the possible association between shingles vaccination and dementia.”

Miels pointed out that the company’s data do not come in isolation. A few published studies have already suggested a link. “There’s been a couple of studies, population-based retrospective studies, looking at the relationship between shingles vaccination and dementia,” he said.
