Shingles is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged people over the age of 50. Have you ever had chickenpox as a child? If so, it is said that shingles can develop when the chickenpox virus remains in the body, and when immunity declines due to stress or other causes as we age. However, since shingles can be prevented in advance through vaccination, vaccination is recommended for those in their 50s and 60s or older. Then, let’s find out the vaccination price and helpful information before vaccination below.

Vaccine types and price analysis
If you look at vaccination products through price comparison, you can see that there are two types of Zostavax and Sky Zoster. There is also a product called Shingrix overseas, but it does not seem to be inoculated in Korea yet. Shingrix is known to have excellent preventive effects as an inactivated vaccine.
Anyway, there are currently two vaccines available in Korea, Zostavax and Skyzoster. You can see that Sky Zoster is relatively inexpensive compared to Zostavax. Zostavax is the world’s first shingles vaccine, and Skyzoster is the world’s second and first domestic vaccine developed in Korea. It is said that Zostavax monopolized the shingles vaccine market before the release of Sky Zoster developed by SK Chemicals.
The reason why the price of Sky Zoster is relatively cheap seems to be that there is a reason why the supply price is cheaper than Zoster Box. However, the efficacy is considered to be equivalent. For the efficacy, it would be better to visit or call the hospital to be vaccinated and ask in detail.
In addition, I heard that there are places where vaccinations are provided free of charge for those over a certain age at local public health centers. It would be a good idea to call the public health center and inquire first and then get vaccinated.
Find out about the price of the shingles vaccine so far. Any help? One of the important factors in shingles is age. As we get older, stress and aging can weaken our immune system. Take care of your health, take care of your immunity so that it does not weaken, and if you have any necessary vaccinations, please maintain a healthy life. thank you
