Are you eligible for the shingles and pneumococcal vaccinations?

Shingles is a common condition that causes a painful rash. It can sometimes lead to serious problems such as long-lasting pain, hearing loss or blindness. You’re more likely to get shingles, and it’s more likely to cause serious problems, as you get older or if you have a severely weakened immune system. The shingles vaccine helps protect against shingles and is recommended for all adults turning 65, those aged 70 to 79 and those aged 50 and over with a severely weakened immune system.

The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against serious illnesses like pneumonia and meningitis. It’s recommended for people at higher risk of these illnesses, such as babies and adults aged 65 and over.

To find out more or book your appointment for either vaccine, please visit our website.
