This survey investigated Korean physician attitudes toward the herpes zoster (HZ) vaccine. A total of 400 physicians answered aself-reported questionnaire. Most physicians knew that HZ poses a significant socioeconomic burden and had good knowledgeabout HZ and its vaccine. Physicians who did not recommend HZ vaccine were concerned about costs (90.7%, 78/86) anddoubted the effectiveness of the vaccine (58.1%, 50/86). Patient demand had a profound effect on physicians decisions; 84.9%(73/86) of them who said not recommending HZ vaccine reported that they would provide the vaccine upon patient request. Inconclusion, educational initiatives should be targeted toward both physicians and patients.
