Plant-based meat refers to products made from plant materials that are designed to mimic meat in every way, from taste & smell to texture & appearance. These are considered to be meat substitutes. Compared to meat products, plant-based meats offer consumers a more sustainable and environment friendly line up of meat alternatives. They are made by using plant and other non-animal products to look, taste, and feel like meat products. Plant-based meats use one or more alternative protein ingredients and can come in the form of burgers, sausages, ground meat, crumbles, nuggets, or even faux-seafood like shrimp and fish. The primary ingredients in plant-based meat substitutes are typically soybeans, wheat gluten, lentils, and tofu, yuba, tempeh, and a variety of nuts.

Shingles is a condition caused by the reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. The characteristic symptom of shingles includes painful, itchy rashes developed on one side of the body. Shingles is often associated with increasing age-related complications such as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). PHN is a painful condition which lasts from at least three months up to several years. CDC has estimated that approximately 10 to 13% of people aged 60 years and older with herpes zoster suffer from PHN. Currently, there are three marketed shingles vaccines, viz. Zostavax (Merck & Co., Inc.), Shingrix (GlaxoSmithKline plc) and SkyZoster (SK Chemicals).
