How frequently do you have to get the shingles vaccine?

Shingles vaccine: Currently the recommendation for shingles vaccine is a single dose to those age 60 or older. However, as we have found with many other vaccines that immunity may wane with time, changes in this recommendation could occur as time goes by and we research what happens 10-20 years down the line......more to come!

The shingles vaccine is given in a 2 dose-series. After receiving the first dose, the second dose should be given within 2-6 months. After that, you do not need to receive another shingles vaccine dose.
