Question:
If I had the Zostavax II vaccine, do I need the Shingrix vaccine?
Answer:
Shingrix is recommended for people 50 years of age and older to prevent shingles, including those previously immunized with the live zoster vaccine (Zostavax II). You should wait at least 1 year before getting Shingrix if you received Zostavax II.
