- Title
Commentary on Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia.
- Authors
Cohen, Elisabeth J
- Abstract
The article explores a well-designed study documenting the continued overall increase in incidences of herpes zoster (HZ) from 1994–2018, despite a decrease in the rates since 2007 in persons ≤20 years old or >60 years old. The recent decrease in incidence rates in age groups during the time when vaccination against varicella or herpes zoster has been recommended supports the conclusion that current vaccination recommendations should be reconsidered.
