Shingles is a neurological skin disease with severe complications, expert warns

Family medicine consultant Dr. Ashraf Amir said, "Shingles is a neurological skin disease whose complications appear as patches or blisters in several areas, causing severe pain that affects quality of life. Patients often experience intense pain that can disrupt their ability to work."

In an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, he added, "The shingles vaccine is available, safe, and effective at health centers. It provides immunity for those most at risk, with an effectiveness rate of 95% to 97%."

Amir noted that studies have shown human immunity begins to decline after the age of 50.
