Should pregnant women receive the shingles vaccine
Dr Komaroff explains the shingles vaccine is not for pregnant women due to weaker immune response in pregnancy. The vaccine is advised for those over 50 and is considered safe around people with weakened immunity, infants, children, and pregnant women, with no cases of chickenpox from vaccinated individuals. The shot appears effective for at least six years, possibly longer, with ongoing research on duration.
