If you had the chicken pox as a child, you are at risk for getting shingles. There is a vaccine that minimizes the risk of getting shingles.
Charles V. Guida, M.D. is board-certified in internal medicine and on staff at Southampton Hospital. He will talk about shingles, an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus that causes a very painful rash that can last for weeks. The free talk will take place May 10 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Library.
Learn about the early treatment options and how a vaccine can help reduce your risk. Dr. Guida will also discuss other adult immunizations that are currently available and how they can protect you from serious disease.
