Hagan ustedes el favor de vacunarse de Herpes Zoster en cuanto puedan.
Also - for reasons not really understood yet - the shingles vaccine appears to reduce dementia risk. By a lot. Honestly you could call it a dementia vaccine that also prevents shingles and not be very wrong.

Gürtelrose/Zoster ist KEIN Herpes, sondern eine Zweiterkrankung nach Windpocken in der Kindheit.

Das Varizella-Zoster-Virus bleibt im Körper und wird im Alter/bei Stress/Krankheit reaktiviert.

Die Bläschen verlaufen streng einseitig entlang von Nerven.

Ein erneute Auftreten ist selten.
