Complications
Shingles is rarely life-threatening, but complications such as postherpetic neuralgia, eye problems, pneumonia or meningitis can sometimes occur, and are more likely if the person is living with a low immune system or is elderly.
It’s possible to have shingles more than once, but it’s very rare to get it more than twice.
Don’t worry, you can come back and finish the assessment in your own time.
