SHINGLES VACCINATION
Shingles vaccine is available under the national programme for people aged 70-74 and 78 and 79 on 1st of September 2017. If you are eligible, please call the GP Surgery and book appointment with a nurse. The shingles vaccine is not available on the NHS if you are aged 80 or over.
