Philip J. Goscienski, M.D., will be at Coronado Public Library on Saturday, October 5 at 10 am. He will discuss the disease Shingles, also known under its medical name of herpes zoster, and how it is occurring more often as our population ages. For most victims it’s uncomfortable, but for many it causes pain that can last for years. It can sometimes result in blindness and is associated with stroke and heart attack. A much more effective vaccine that was recently released is nearly twice as effective as the previous one. Learn how Shingles begins, who is at risk and how we can avoid it. Dr. Goscienski will answer questions after the presentation.
This presentation is free and open to the public thanks to the Friends of the Library.
