Shingrix

Since 2020, only Shingrix has been available for use in the U.S., recommended for most everyone over the age of 50.

Doctors say the symptoms are comparable to those experienced by many people after getting Shingrix, the vaccine to prevent shingles.

This version of the shingles vaccine is largely being replaced by Shingrix, a new and more effective shingles vaccine that became available in 2017.

ROCHESTER, NY — Wegmans Food Market pharmacies are offering Shingrix, the more effective shingles vaccine recently recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, with no appointment or prescription necessary, the company announced Monday.

There is no specific length of time that you need to wait after having shingles before you can receive Shingrix, but generally you should make sure the shingles rash has gone away before getting vaccinated.
