联合王国卫生官员正在敦促65岁以上的成年人和70至80岁的成年人接种Shingrix shingles疫苗,因为只有不到一半的合格个人获得第一剂疫苗,66岁者的接种率为42.1%。 Health officials in the UK are urging adults over 65 and those aged 70 to 80 to get the Shingrix shingles vaccine, as fewer than half of eligible individuals have received their first dose, with uptake at 42.1% for those turning 66. NHS免费提供的两剂疫苗在预防带状疱疹方面非常有效，带状疱疹是一种由水痘病毒重新激活引起的疼痛状况，可能导致长期神经痛和并发症。 The two-dose vaccine, offered free by the NHS, is highly effective in preventing shingles, a painful condition caused by reactivated chickenpox virus, which can lead to long-term nerve pain and complications. 在印度，带状疱疹仍然被低估，认知有限，医生讨论也很少，尽管患者慢性病发病率高且疼痛严重。 In India, shingles remains underrecognized, with limited awareness and low discussion with doctors, despite high rates of chronic disease and severe pain among patients. 全球疫苗公司正在印度推广疫苗接种,并倡导成人例行免疫接种,而在南非,Shingrix预计将在2026年晚些时候提供,尽管费用仍然是一个障碍。 GSK is promoting vaccination in India and advocating for routine adult immunization, while in South Africa, Shingrix is expected to become available later in 2026, though cost remains a barrier.
