If you are over 50, your risk of developing shingles increases, often leading to severe pain and discomfort if left unprotected. Touchwood Pharmacy offers the private shingles vaccine in Leighton-Buzzard to help protect you from this common and often painful condition. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Even if you had chickenpox years ago, the virus can reactivate and lead to shingles. Our experienced pharmacists will explain how the vaccine works, what side effects to expect, and how it can reduce your risk.

Who Should Get the Shingles Vaccine in Leighton-Buzzard?

The shingles vaccine in Leighton-Buzzard is ideal for adults who want to avoid the pain and long recovery linked with this condition. It is especially recommended if:

  • You are aged 50 or older.
  • You had chickenpox in the past.
  • You are at risk of a weakened immune system.
  • You live with or care for someone vulnerable.

Although it is still possible to get shingles after the vaccine, the symptoms are usually much milder. Vaccination can help prevent serious complications like nerve pain that lasts for months.
