BACKGROUND: Herpes Zoster (HZ), also known as Shingles, is a commonly occurring infection especially among the elderly. It is due to the reactivation of the dormant virus in the sensory ends that were present since the primary infection with the virus.
OBJECTIVE: Our study aims at assessing the knowledge, attitudes practices beliefs and current barriers towards the Shingrix vaccine to fully understand where we stand and come up with proper recommendations to services these at-risk individuals and ultimately have a positive impact on the healthcare system.
METHODS: Questionnaire based cross sectional study using a translated version of a previously developed and tested questionnaire.
RESULTS: more than 8000 participants responded to the survey. The vast majority had chicken pox before and did hear about the vaccine from different sources. Most of the participants had minimal knowledge regarding the vaccine and were willing to take it regardless of some safety concerns.
CONCLUSION: more efforts need to be conducted to enhance vaccine uptake in at risk populations in Saudi Arabia.
