Results: RZV can reduce the duration of clinically significant HZ-related pain
Vaccine efficacy was assessed by COX proportional hazard model. *This analysis excluded pain linked to a confirmed HZ case after the start of relapse treatment. N, number of participants with at least 1confirmed HZ episode; n, number of participants with at least 1 confirmed HZ episode and at least 1 day of clinically significant HZ-related pain; tmed, median duration of clinically significant HZ-related pain; T, sum of the duration of clinically significant HZ-related pain (T=1 for participants without pain).

Conclusions
In addition to the high efficacy of RZV in preventing HZ, data from these 3 large clinical efficacy trials indicates that RZV may shorten the duration of HZ-related pain and therefore shorten the duration of pain medication use in breakthrough cases in older adults and HSCT recipients.

Conclusions
In addition to the high efficacy of RZV in preventing HZ, data from these 3 large clinical efficacy trials indicates that RZV may shorten the duration of HZ-related pain and therefore shorten the duration of pain medication use in breakthrough cases in older adults and HSCT recipients.
The results from these preplanned secondary and tertiary study endpoints should be interpreted withcaution due to the low number of breakthrough HZ cases (high vaccine efficacy).

By preventing HZ through vaccination, RZV could potentially reduce exposure to opioids and othermedication (see also abstract 902651).

Even in cases when shingles develops in vaccinated people, RZV may reduce its severity and the need for pain relief. These additional benefits of vaccination improve the patient’s quality of life and might mitigate the risk of overmedication.
By preventing HZ through vaccination, RZV could potentially reduce exposure to opioids and othermedication (see also abstract 902651).
