Shingles is a painful, itchy rash made up of blisters that appear on one side of the body. It’s caused by the same virus, herpes zoster, that causes chickenpox. Even if you’ve had chickenpox, it’s important to get vaccinated against shingles, as the virus can create long-term complications such as nerve pain and vision loss. Vaccination is over 90% effective at preventing the virus. Have a discussion with your primary care provider about getting vaccinated. | Medical Mutual
