Shingles Vaccination

Shingles is a common disease that can cause long-lasting, severe pain or permanent disability. If you are aged between 70 and 79 you are eligible for a shingles vaccination which can reduce the chances of you developing this serious disease. If you have a weakened immune system you may not be suitable for this vaccine but please ask the nurse for advice.
