In April 2019, shingles was detected within 24 hours. I had antibiotics for 10 days.

Hello,
Yes, the Quebec recommendations advise waiting 1 year before receiving the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) after having had this infection
Please note that shingles is a virus. Therefore, you did not receive an antibiotic, which fights bacteria, but an antiviral, which fights viruses
Enjoy your visit,

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
