Abstract
Introduction: Herpes zoster (HZ), or shingles, arises from the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), particularly prevalent among the elderly and immunosuppressed. Despite the global trend of increasing HZ incidence, its prevalence in Saudi Arabia is not well established. Vaccination remains a key public health strategy, yet vaccine uptake varies widely, influenced by sociodemographic, cultural, and religious factors. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HZ vaccination among individuals aged 50 and over in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, addressing a significant gap in current research.
