Zoster vaccine : ウィキペディア英語版 | Zoster vaccine
The zoster vaccine (trade name Zostavax) is a live vaccine developed by Merck & Co. that has been shown to reduce the incidence of herpes zoster (known as shingles) by 51.3% in a study of 38,000 adults aged 60 and older who received the vaccine. The vaccine also reduced by 66.5% the number of cases of postherpetic neuralgia and reduced the severity and duration of pain and discomfort associated with shingles, by 61.1%. The zoster vaccine is, essentially, a larger-than-normal dose of the chickenpox vaccine (Varivax, Varilrix), as both shingles (prevented by Zostavax) and chickenpox (prevented by Varivax/Varilrix, even prevented by Zostavax as well) are caused by the same virus, the varicella zoster virus (VZV).〔 〕 == Medical uses ==
