Safety and reactogenicity of the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine: experience from clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance
An adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) is licensed for the prevention of herpes zoster. This paper reviews its safety and reactogenicity. A pooled analysis of two pivotal randomized Phase-3 trials (NCT01165177, NCT01165229) in adults ⩾50 years found that more solicited adverse events (AEs) w...

An adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) is licensed for the prevention of herpes zoster. This paper reviews its safety and reactogenicity.
