dc.description.abstractHerpes zoster (HZ) is caused by reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus infection. The most common complication of HZ is post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is often debilitating and refractory to treatment. The incidence of both HZ and PHN increases markedly with age. In November 2016, a vaccine for HZ was included in Australia’s National Immunisation Program (NIP) for all people aged 70, together with a 5-year catch-up program for those aged 71–79 years.3 The vaccine is cost-effective for people aged 70–79, but is registered for vaccinating people from age 50.
