Question:
It's been more than six months since my first dose of Shingrix. Is it too late to get the second shot? Do I have to restart my vaccine series?
Answer:
When more than six months have passed since your first Shingrix vaccination, you should get the second dose as soon as possible. You do not need to restart the vaccine series. Two doses of Shingrix ensure optimal protection.
