In addition to Varivax, which other vaccine is commonly associated with herpes zoster prevention?

The correct answer is related to Zostavax, which is specifically designed to prevent herpes zoster, also known as shingles. This vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine that helps boost the immune response against the varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes both chickenpox and shingles. By enhancing immunity to the latent virus, Zostavax reduces the risk of developing herpes zoster in older adults and those at higher risk.

Other vaccines mentioned do not have a direct association with herpes zoster prevention. For instance, Flumist is an intranasal vaccine for influenza, and the pneumococcal vaccine provides protection against pneumococcal infections but is not related to shingles. The hepatitis B vaccine protects against the hepatitis B virus, which is unrelated to the varicella-zoster virus. Hence, Zostavax is the only other vaccine alongside Varivax that is specifically aimed at preventing herpes zoster.
