[HIGHLIGHTS] Sino-Singapore Health丨About 1/3 of people will suffer from shingles in their lifetime. Vaccination prevention is the key

Herpes zoster is a self-limiting disease, and some patients with strong resistance will recover on their own in 2 to 3 weeks. It is recommended to receive recombinant herpes zoster vaccine, because the protective ability of the vaccine based on this technical route will be smaller and safer.
