Shingles can be painful and disruptive, but you can reduce your risk with the shingles vaccine in Walsall. At Touchwood Pharmacy, we offer the private shingles vaccination to help protect adults, especially those over 50, from this often serious condition. Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, which stays in the body and can flare up later in life. The result is usually a burning rash, flu-like symptoms, and sometimes long-lasting nerve pain. Our experienced pharmacists are here to explain the process, provide the vaccine, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

Why Get the Shingles Vaccine in Walsall?

Even though shingles is common, many people are unaware of how serious it can become. Getting the shingles vaccine in Walsall helps lower your chances of developing shingles or reduces the severity if you do get it. While shingles after vaccination can still happen, it is usually less severe and easier to recover from.

The vaccine is recommended if:

  • You are aged 50 or above.
  • You had chickenpox in the past.
  • You want to avoid long-term nerve pain.
  • You care for someone with a weak immune system.
