Related introduction

Currently The herpes zoster vaccine marketed in my country is also a non-immunization program vaccine and requires voluntary vaccination at one's own expense. The vaccine is given in two doses with an interval of 2-6 months. For patients who have already suffered from herpes zoster, they can also be vaccinated after they are cured to prevent recurrence. The vaccine price is 1,598 yuan/tube. According to the vaccine instructions, the shingles vaccine is only suitable for adults aged 50 and over.

Herpes zoster virus mainly occurs in the chest and abdomen, but symptoms can also appear in other parts of the body. During an attack, the patient's skin presents with band-like erythema, papules, or clusters of blisters, and the blister fluid is contagious to a certain extent. Burning, electric shock, and pinprick-like neuralgia are the main symptoms of herpes zoster, especially the long-lasting pain caused by post-herpetic neuralgia, which can last for months or even years, making patients miserable. When you have unexplained pain, rash and other symptoms suspected of herpes zoster, you should go to the dermatology department of the hospital as soon as possible. This is crucial to reducing the occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia. Do not blindly use folk remedies on your own to avoid delaying treatment.

Currently, there is no specific treatment for herpes zoster, and only antiviral and analgesic treatments are available, but the effectiveness of postherpetic neuralgia is limited. Injecting the herpes zoster vaccine to improve the specific resistance of susceptible people is a more effective measure to prevent the onset of herpes zoster.
