- Abstract : EVIDENCE‐BASED ANSWER : The answer is unclear. The shingles vaccine has been shown to reduce the severity and incidence of shingles for 5 years and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) for 2 years after vaccination (SOR: B, based on a single RCT and follow‐on study). Its effectiveness beyond those timeframes is less certain, and there are currently no studies assessing the safety or efficacy of a booster (SOR: C, consensus guideline).
