Registration for the 6th District Regional Labor Court’s herpes zoster vaccination campaign is open between March 8th and 20th. The action aims to disseminate information on how to prevent this disease and offer the vaccine, at a discount of about 23% compared to the market price. Each dose will have an initial cost of R$585.86, plus the vaccination fee, which is R$70.00 – under the responsibility of Clínica NM Magalhães – for a total of R$655.86. Without a discount, the immunostimulator costs about R$850.00. The vaccine is recommended for people 50 years of age or older and adults 18 years of age or older with medical indications because they are at increased risk of getting herpes zoster.

What is herpes zoster?
Herpes zoster (HZ), a disease known as “shingles,” is caused by reactivation of a varicella-zoster virus, such as chickenpox, dormant in the body after a previous infection. The disease is characterized by a localized rash (usually in the form of small blisters), often painful. The main complication is postherpetic neuralgia, pain that can persist long after the vesicles on the skin have disappeared. Depending on the severity of symptoms, the condition can have a significant impact on quality of life and lead to physical disability, loss of independence, and/or depression.
