CLINICAL PARTICULARS
INDICATIONS
_Shingrix_ is indicated for the prevention of herpes zoster (HZ) and
post-herpetic neuralgia
(PHN), in:

adults 50 years of age or older;

adults 18 years of age or older at increased risk of HZ due to
immunodeficiency or
immunosuppression caused by known disease or therapy.
The vaccine’s effect on the prevention of PHN can be attributed to
the effect of the vaccine on
the prevention of HZ.
The use of _Shingrix_ should be based on official recommendations.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The immunisation schedule for _Shingrix_ should be based on official
recommendations.
POSOLOGY
The primary vaccination schedule consists of two doses of 0.5 ml each;
an initial dose
followed by a second dose 2 to 6 months later.

For subjects who are immunodeficient, immunosuppressed or likely to
become
immunosuppressed due to known disease or therapy, and whom would
benefit from a shorter
vaccination schedule, the second dose can be given 1 to 2 months after
the initial dose (see
_Pharmacodynamic Effects_).
The need for booster doses has not been established.
_Shingrix_ can be given with the same schedule in individuals
previously vaccinated with live
attenuated HZ vaccine (see _Pharmacodynamic Effects_).
