Shingles can be more than just a painful rash — it can disrupt daily life and leave lingering discomfort long after visible symptoms fade. What many people don’t realize is that shingles may also increase the likelihood of serious cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke, in the weeks and months following recovery.
For adults 50 and older, or those whose immune systems may need extra support, awareness is an important step in staying healthy. The American Heart Association encourages people to talk with their doctor or pharmacist about whether the shingles vaccine may be right for them.
By airing this PSA, you can help the American Heart Association raise awareness about the potential heart risks associated with shingles and empowers people to take proactive steps toward protecting their long-term health.
