The Zoster Shield Immunization Package (RZV) vaccine is a vaccine designed to protect against the herpes zoster virus, which is responsible for causing shingles. The vaccine is typically administered in two doses, with the second dose given 2 to 6 months after the first dose. The RZV vaccine is made from a protein found in the herpes zoster virus, which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the virus. These antibodies help to protect against future infections by the virus. The vaccine has been shown to be highly effective in preventing shingles.
