There are two herpes zoster vaccines. The newer herpes zoster vaccine is preferred over the older herpes zoster vaccine because it provides better and longer-lasting protection.
The newer vaccine contains only noninfective pieces of the virus (called a recombinant vaccine).
The older vaccine contains live, weakened (attenuated) virus.These vaccines help reduce the risk of shingles (herpes zoster) and the severe residual pain it can cause (postherpetic neuralgia).
