Who is the shingles vaccine for?

It is typically for older adults, as shingles becomes more common with age. We will check your eligibility and suitability during the appointment.

What happens during the appointment?

We will ask a few questions about your health, medicines, and allergies, explain the vaccine, and make sure you feel comfortable before going ahead.

Do I need to prepare or bring anything?

Bring a list of your medicines if you can, and let us know about any allergies, previous vaccine reactions, or recent illness when you arrive.

What should I expect after the shingles vaccine?

Some people notice mild, short-lived side effects such as a sore arm or feeling a bit tired. You will be given clear aftercare advice.

Can I ask questions if I am unsure?

Yes. There is time to talk things through so you can decide with confidence and leave knowing what to expect next.
