Hello, there are no vaccine for shingles. Because you are already infected with chickenpox.
Facial shingles should be shown to an ophthalmologist. Available treatment s are
Bed rest
Antivirals(acyclovir)
Brufen or paracetamol
Cool packs over face
Antibiotics
Corticosteroid s to relieve swelling.
Earlier you take antivirals earlier the symptoms subsides. Hope this helps
