shingles vaccination cost
Another way of looking at it is 175 people would have to be vaccinated to prevent one case of shingles, and 1,087 would need to be treated to prevent one case of postherpetic neuralgia (lingering nerve pain after an initial attack)âat a cost of $150â$300 per shingles vaccination.n the placebo group, 3.3 percent of the study participants developed shingles, compared to 1.6 percent in the vaccine group. Yes, thatâs a 50 percent difference, but the real, absolute risk reduction is just 1.7 percentage points.
