ZOSTAVAX is vaccine that can help prevent Shingles in adults 60 years of age or older.

ZOSTAVAX is given as a single shot. ZOSTAVAX cannot be used to treat Shingles, or the nerve pain that may follow Shingles, once you have it. Talk to your health care provider to see if ZOSTAVAX is right for you.

Important Safety Information

	ZOSTAVAX may not protect everyone who gets the vaccine.
	You should not get ZOSTAVAX if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including gelatin or neomycin, have a weakened immune system, take high doses of steroids, or are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
	ZOSTAVAX should not be given at the same time as PNEUMOVAX^®23 (Pneumococcal Vaccine Polyvalent).
	Possible side effects include redness, pain, itching, swelling, warmth, or bruising at the injection site, as well as headache.
	ZOSTAVAX contains a weakened chickenpox virus. Tell your health care provider if you will be in close contact with newborn infants, someone who may be pregnant and has not had chickenpox or been vaccinated against chickenpox, or someone who has problems with their immune system. Your health care provider can tell you what situations you may need to avoid.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
