Why Get the Shingles Vaccination?
Shingles is a painful condition caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. It usually affects older adults or people with a weak immune system. The shingles vaccine helps prevent this illness or reduces its severity if it does occur.
Our experts offer clear guidance on the best time to get vaccinated and what to expect. Whether you are eligible for the shingles vaccine or looking for a private option, we are here to help with trusted advice and care.

Do I Need Shingles Vaccination Services?
Are you aged 50 or over? Do you have a health condition that weakens your immune system? Have you had chickenpox in the past?
If yes, the shingles vaccine is recommended to lower your risk of shingles and long-term nerve pain. At your appointment, we can advise on:
- Private shingles vaccination if you are not eligible for the NHS vaccine
- Whether you need one or two doses based on your age and health
- What to expect after vaccination and managing mild side effects
We’ll also explain how to reduce the chance of shingles after the vaccine and answer any questions you may have.
How Do Shingles Vaccines Work?
The shingles vaccine helps your immune system recognise and fight the virus before it becomes active again. This lowers your chance of developing shingles and its painful effects. Even if shingles does appear, symptoms are often milder and recovery is quicker.

Book your private shingles vaccination with one of our trained pharmacy experts and stay a step ahead of this painful condition.
When Should I Visit a Shingles Vaccination Clinic?
