VACCINE WORRY IS common worldwide. The FDA recently stopped publication of studies on safety of shingles and Covid vaccines. While Covid is no longer a threat, shingles can happen any time. So, what is the safety record for shingles vaccine?
Dr Tanu Singhal, consultant, paediatrics and infectious disease, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, says: "The shingles vaccine has demonstrated a very good safety track record, backed by trials and postmarketing surveillance after years of real world use in millions of people from different countries. While people have certain side effects for a day or two, like a sore arm, fever, fatigue, or headache, these reactions are generally mild and resolve quickly in 1-2 days on their own or with paracetamol. It is important to know that these adverse effects are minor compared to the health risks related to shingles. Most patients resume their normal activities in 2-3 days after taking the prescribed dose."
Who should opt for the vax and who should not?
