The Shingles Prevention Study (SPS) demonstrated that the live, attenuated zoster vaccine (ZV) (Zostavax; Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., Whitehouse Station, NJ) reduced the burden of illness due to HZ in persons aged ≥60 years by 61%; the incidence of PHN by 66%; and the incidence of HZ by 51% [12]. The efficacy of the ZV for preventing HZ decreased with increasing age (64% in subjects aged 60–69 years; 41% in subjects aged 70–79 years; and 18% in subjects ages ≥80 years) [13].
