Who should get a shingles vaccine?

You should get the shingles vaccine if you are at high risk for getting it or if you are experiencing symptoms. It is recommended that individuals 60 and older get the shingles vaccine, as this is when the risk of contraction is high. Even if you have previously contracted shingles, you should get the vaccine to prevent or mitigate future cases. The shingles vaccine is not recommended by the CDC for anyone younger than 60 because it has not yet been thoroughly studied in those age groups.

How much does a shingles vaccine cost in Norwood?

Without insurance, a shingles vaccine and the consultation generally preceding it can cost anywhere from $200 to $250.

Is a shingles vaccine covered by my insurance?

All Medicare part D and most private health insurance plans cover the shingles vaccine. Typically, you will have to cover a co-payment for the consultation and, in some cases, the vaccine itself.

How well does the shingles vaccine work?

The shingles vaccine, according to the CDC, is 97 percent effective in preventing shingles in people aged 50 to 69 who have a strong immune system, and 91 percent effective in people aged 70 and up who have a weak immune system. It goes on to claim that in people with weakened immune systems, the shingles vaccine is 68 percent to 91 percent effective in preventing shingles. According to the CDC, the Shingrix vaccine is 91 percent effective in preventing long-term nerve damage from shingles in people 50 years and older, and 89 percent effective in adults 70 years and older.

How often do you need to get the shingles vaccine?

The CDC recommends that people over 50 receive just two doses of the shingles vaccination, separated by two to six months. Adults aged 19 and above with a weakened immune system should have a second dose of the shingles vaccine one to two months after the first.

How long after the shingles vaccine are you contagious?

According to the CDC, shingles is a contagious virus that only infects those who have already had chickenpox. The CDC recommends getting the shingles vaccination even if you've already had chickenpox.

I'm not one to usually write a review unlike most people. Every business every person has a bad day, but why must everyone judge a business/person on one bad minute. With that said I have to say ReadyMED, Auburn is by far the BEST! I have been there 3 times in Auburn, unfortunately twice in a 24 hours period both times they were amazing. The morning shift 2/1 and the evening shift 2/2 you know who you are. Keep up the awesome work, its a tough job and you never get the credit you are due. Thank you for everything!!

I have been there several times (stitches, X-ray, Covid test) and always a very good experience. I recognized one doctor as the ER doctor at the “real” hospital and then said “this place is ‘real’ too”
