Get Vaccinated with the Shingles Vaccine Before You Travel

December 9, 2022/in News /by Admin

What are Shingles?

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant (inactive) in the body and reactivate later in life as shingles. Symptoms of shingles include pain, burning, tingling, or itching on one side of the body, followed by a red rash that turns into fluid-filled blisters. The pain associated with shingles can be severe and long-lasting, and some people may also experience fatigue, headaches, and a fever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people aged 50 years and older get vaccinated against shingles with the shingles vaccine in Ontario to help prevent the disease.

Benefits of Shingle Vaccine to Travelers:

The shingles travel vaccine can provide several benefits for travelers, including:

Protection against shingles: The shingles vaccine in Toronto can help prevent the development of shingles, which can be a painful and debilitating condition.

Reduced risk of complications: Shingles can cause a number of serious complications, including postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a painful condition that can last for months or even years after the rash has disappeared. The shingles vaccine can help reduce the risk of these complications.

Peace of mind: Travel can be stressful and bring new challenges, and the last thing you want is to deal with a painful and potentially debilitating illness while you are away from home. The shingles vaccine can provide peace of mind and allow you to focus on enjoying your travels.

Avoidance of quarantine: If you develop shingles while traveling, you may be required to isolate or quarantine, which can impact your travel plans and itinerary. By getting the shingles vaccination, you can reduce the risk of developing shingles and avoid the need for quarantine.

Overall, getting the shingles vaccine in Ontario before traveling can help protect you from developing this painful and debilitating condition, reduce the risk of complications, and allow you to enjoy your travels with peace of mind.

During your consultation with our health care providers at the Travel Vaccine Clinic, a shingles vaccine clinic in Toronto, we will answer your questions about the shingle vaccines.

If you are a resident of Ontario, you might be eligible to get the Shingle vaccine free of charge depending on your age.

Book your travel health consultation with our Travel Vaccine Clinic in Toronto (690 Queen street East ), our travel vaccine clinic in North York (701 Sheppard Ave West), our travel vaccine clinic at the Path at 200 Bay Street Toronto (RBC tower).

Prices are OK especially for the level of professionalism they showed."
