My best friend shared in our group chat that she had shingles—a painful, blistering rash. 😬 And now we're ALL having the "wait… are WE at increased risk?" conversation.
Spoiler: Yes. We are (because we’re over 50). I spoke to my local pharmacist and here’s what I learned:
1. The immune system naturally weakens as we age. Starting at 50, the risk for shingles sharply increases.
2. 1 in 3 people will develop it in their lifetime.
3. If you’re 50 years or older, visit EasyVax.com to schedule a pharmacy appointment near you and ask your pharmacist about your risk for certain vaccine-preventable diseases, like shingles.
SHARE this with your group chat! ❤️
What's your "tell" that you're over 50? Let me know in the comments 😂⬇️
