Shingles Vaccine
£230
10 mins
Shingles is a viral infection of the nerve and surrounding skin, also known as herpes zoster. It is caused by a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. Some of the symptoms of shingles are similar to the symptoms of chickenpox. They include a high temperature or fever, a headache and a characteristic rash which can be painful or itchy.
The Shingles vaccine is suitable for patients age 50 and over who have either had chickenpox or have received the chickenpox vaccine in the past. It is a single dose vaccine administered in the upper arm.
If you have neither had chickenpox nor the vaccine, you are not at risk of developing shingles and the vaccine won’t be suitable for you. In this case, you could benefit from the chickenpox vaccine.
You will be unable to have the shingles vaccination if you have had one or more episodes of shingles in the last 12 months.
When you arrive at the pharmacy you will be required to fill in a consent form with a short questionnaire to see if you fit the inclusion criteria for the vaccine. The form can be downloaded to view and fill in before your appointment.
