You already know that shingles can develop in anyone who has had chickenpox, with about 1 in 3 people developing shingles in their lifetime.
Your risk of developing shingles increases with age, especially after 50. But, did you know that adults with asthma, diabetes, or some cardiovascular conditions are more likely to develop shingles compared to adults without those conditions?
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your personal shingles risk and how you can help protect yourself.
