An older adult female asks the practical nurse (PN) if she should get a Herpes zoster (shingles) vaccination because she gets cold sores on her mouth when she is sick or stressed. Which response should the PN provide?

The vaccine is not useful if you have ever had a case of shingles.

If you are 60 or older, the one-time vaccination is recommended.

You do not need to get this vaccination if you have had chicken pox.

The vaccination minimizes outbreaks of cold sores.
