Shingles Vaccination

The shingles vaccination service uses a vaccine called Shingrix to protect you from shingles. This shingles vaccine is given in two doses, with the second being administered two to six months after the first. Shingrix is proven to be over 90% effective at preventing shingles in clinical trials, so it will significantly reduce your risk of getting shingles. If you do get shingles after being vaccinated, the symptoms can be much milder

Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It’s caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster, the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you’ve had chickenpox in the past, this virus stays inside your body and can be reactivated, typically during times of stress or when the immune system is weakened.
