Science Made Simple
How the Shingles Vaccine Works
The Shingrix vaccine is a recombinant (non-live) vaccine created to protect against shingles and its complications. It contains a protein from the varicella-zoster virus along with an adjuvant that enhances your immune system’s response.
This powerful combination helps your body build strong, long-lasting protection. Even if you’ve had shingles before or received a different shingles vaccine, Shingrix strengthens your defense against the virus reactivating later in life.
Don’t Forget Your Second Dose
Shingrix is a two-dose series. The second dose should be taken 2–6 months after the first to ensure full and long-lasting protection. Be sure to mark your calendar or set a reminder so you don’t miss it.
