The Zoster Vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent shingles, a painful and debilitating condition caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is recommended for adults over the age of 50, and is available in both single-dose and two-dose formulations. The vaccine is highly effective in preventing shingles, and can also reduce the severity of symptoms in those who do develop the condition. It is also recommended for those who have had chickenpox in the past, as they are at higher risk of developing shingles. The Zoster Vaccine market is a subset of the larger Vaccines market, which includes a wide range of products used to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
