Supply of new, highly effective shingles vaccine ‘day to day’ as demand surges

Noted: The first vaccine provides some protection from the disease.

“But we don’t know how much because it wasn’t studied,” said Jeremy Smith, an internist and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

UW Health is giving the vaccine to patients with an appointment with their physician as opposed to people who call wanting just the vaccine.
