    not 100% but it minimizes the severity of it, shingrx (the newer vaccine compared to zostavax which is a live attenuated version, just a larger dose of the chickenpox vccine) uses viral components instead. but it is known to have a more intense reaction to it.

    if you are over 50+, its advised you get 2 series booster shots. along with other vaccines, like the new RSV vaccine.
