CAREGIVERS CORNER
Another Reason for You and Your Loved Ones
to Get Your Shingles Shot
Shingles is a painful condition that becomes more common as we
grow older. In the best case scenario, the painful rash, fever and
headache cause an unpleasant few weeks, after which the patient
recovers without complications. But a certain number of people with
shingles will be unlucky enough to develop post-herpetic neuralgia
(PHN)lasting, severe pain that in some cases can be quite
debilitating.
The good news is that there is a vaccine for shingles. It is a onetime shot that can lower the risk. It is recommended for everyone
over the age of 60; Medicare and many insurances will pay for the
immunization. Yet relatively few seniors have taken advantage of
the shot.
One reason the holdouts give is that they've heard some people who
get the shot develop shingles anyway. While it's true that the
vaccine doesn't prevent 100 percent of cases, a new study from
Kaiser Permanente found that people who get shingles are less
likely to suffer PHN if they've had the shot. If you are age 60 or
older (some experts say age 50), talk to your doctor about the
shingles vaccine. (And ask anyone you know who's had PHNthey
will probably second the doctor's recommendation that you get
vaccinated!)
