There are two vaccines available in the UK for the prevention of Shingles (herpes Zoster) and associated complications - Zostavax and Shingrix.
Herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles, is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in a person who has previously had varicella (chickenpox). Herpes zoster commonly presents as a painful, self-limiting vesicular rash in a dermatomal distribution.
