A Broad Safety Assessment of the Recombinant Herpes Zoster Vaccine
Am J Epidemiol. 2022 Feb 12:kwac030. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwac030. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (RZV), approved as a 2-dose series in the U.S. in October 2017, has proven highly effective and generally safe. However, a small risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) after vaccination was identified post-approval, and questions remain about other possible adverse events. This data-mining study assessed RZV safety in the U.S. using the self-controlled tree-temporal scan statistic, scanning data on thousands of diagnoses recorded during follow-up to detect any statistically unusual temporal clu...

Burden of opioid use for pain management among adult herpes zoster patients in the US and the potential impact of vaccination
Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2022 Apr 1:1-11. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2022.2040328. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARYWhat is the context? Herpes zoster or shingles and its complications such as postherpetic neuralgia - a painful condition that affects the nerve fibers and skin - may lead to complex pain that can be addressed using opioids in some patients.The recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) vaccine prevents shingles and, therefore, may reduce the use of opioids and the negative health outcomes and costs associated with it.What is new? In this retrospective medical claims study, including patients between 2012 a...

Herpes Zoster in the era of COVID 19: A prospective observational study to probe the association of herpes zoster with COVID 19 infection and vaccination
CONCLUSIONS: Experts must be aware of the probable increased risk of HZ during the Covid 19 pandemic. We propose appropriate curative and preventive measures against herpes zoster infection, including a systematic follow-up of these patients to ensure that they stick to extreme safety measures till the diagnosis of COVID-19 is omitted This article is protected by copyright.

Capturing the value of vaccination: impact of vaccine-preventable disease on hospitalization
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2022 May 28. doi: 10.1007/s40520-022-02110-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEvidence from epidemiological studies suggests that vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) such as influenza or herpes zoster contribute significantly to the increased risk of older adults for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, neurological, and renal complications in the period after illnesses. However, since the period of elevated risk can persist well beyond the duration of the acute illness, the connection is not always recognized. To obtain insights into the relationship between diagnoses for vaccine-preventable disease and for ot...

Recombinant Zoster Vaccine Uptake and Risk of Flares Among Older Adults with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: We did not find an increase in presumed flares following RZV vaccination. Among adults aged ≥50 years with IMIDs, a substantial proportion received RZV compared to general zoster coverage estimates and series-completion was high. This article is protected by copyright.
