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 Luzerne?

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?

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.

I will never go to another urgent Care center again, this is the best one I've ever been to, the staff was very friendly, courteous. I love the nurse she was very concerned about my son, I wish I knew her name. But very personable, sweet woman. The doctor was amazing, and asked all questions and was not in a rush. Thank you for getting my son better he's been sick for 2 weeks and his own pediatrician didn't even help. I will recommend this place and if I can give more stars I would.

Staff was late opening clinic. The check in was very slow too. Once in a room the NP came right in, treated my problem and I was on my way out in a short time. She was great.
