Who makes Zostavax (zoster vaccine)?

Zostavax was manufactured by Merck (known as MSD outside the US and Canada).

Is the Zostavax manufacturer still producing it?

Zostavax was developed and made by Merck, but availability and whether production continues can vary by country and over time. If you tell me your country (or whether you mean the US, UK, EU, etc.), I can narrow down the current status for where you’re looking.

What label or packaging should you check for the manufacturer?

On Zostavax product information (box label and leaflet), the manufacturer or marketing authorization holder is typically listed (often reflecting Merck/MSD). Checking that exact line is the fastest way to confirm the maker for a specific lot in your region.
