Description
Nina B Masters and colleagues report a 2026 journal article on uptake of the Shingrix shingles vaccine in newly eligible adults. The two-dose vaccine has been advised for healthy adults from age fifty since 2017. The team used linked health records and claims to track who started and finished the series.
Among 153,899 adults who turned fifty between 2018 and 2024, only 9.9 percent got a first dose within a year. That share climbed from 2.6 percent for the 2018 group to 14.0 percent for 2024. Getting a flu shot in the fiftieth year was the strongest single predictor of starting. Black adults, rural residents, and Medicaid enrollees had lower uptake.
