KNOWING ISN’T PROTECTING
By now, you’ve heard of shingles.
Maybe you skimmed an article. Maybe a friend mentioned it and you nodded along.
But here’s the problem: Knowing isn’t protection.
Shingles doesn’t care what you know. It only cares if your body’s ready to fight it.
And for most people over 501, the body isn’t ready.
Shingles isn’t just a rash2. The pain2 can linger for months– or longer.
But the pain2 only tells half the story.
Shingles can strike your face, your eyes, your ability to sleep2.
Shingles is even associated with the risk of a heart attack and stroke3*.
This 11 November is a reminder to protect yourself against shingles.
Remember the date, but take action now by speaking to your doctor about shingles prevention.
Don’t wait for symptoms. Don’t assume you’re fine.
Because knowing won’t protect you. Action will.
