Almost all adults 50 years of age or older carry the varicella zoster virus, the virus that causes shingles, and one in three people will get shingles in their lifetime.
If you’re 50 years of age or older, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or contact us directly at KARINGISMUTUALLLC.COM about getting vaccinated. Shingles vaccines can reduce your chances of getting shingles and nerve pain called postherpetic neuralgia (or PHN) that can be a consequence of shingles.
