Shingles can strike twice. Will the shingles vaccine help? - Harvard Health Blog - Harvard Health Publications

Shingles can strike twice. Will the shingles vaccine help? - Harvard Health Blog - Harvard Health PublicationsShingles can strike twice. Will the shingles vaccine help?
Peter WehrweinContributor, Harvard Health
This month’s Harvard Health Letter has an article about getting shingles a second time or even a third time. (Click here to read the full article.) The bottom line is that recurrence is a) certainly possible and b) if some recent research is correct, much more common than previously thought and about as likely as getting shingles in the first place if you’re age 60 or older.
I talked to Barbara P. Yawn, director of research at the Olmsted Medical Center in Rochester, Minn., for the March article and mentioned results that she and her colleagues first presented at a conference several years ago.
Yawn reported a more complete version of those results in last month’s issue of theMayo Clinic Proceedings (a favorite journal of mine). Full text of the study isn’t available unless you have a subscription to the journal, but here is a link to a summary (in medical publishing, such summaries are called abstracts).... http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/shingles-can-strike-twice-will-the-shingles-vaccine-help-201103021531
