Frequently Asked Questions
What is shingles, and how do you get it?
Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster). If you’ve had chickenpox in the past, the virus can stay dormant in your body and reactivate later as shingles.
Who is eligible for the NHS shingles vaccine?
In the UK, people aged 70 to 79 and those turning 65 are typically eligible for the NHS shingles vaccination. Some people with certain health conditions may also qualify earlier. Check with our pharmacy team for eligibility.
Is the shingles vaccine safe?
Yes. The shingles vaccine is safe and has been extensively tested. Like any vaccine, it may cause mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site or mild flu-like symptoms.
Can I get the shingles vaccine if I’ve already had shingles?
Yes, you can still benefit from the vaccine after recovering from shingles. It can help reduce the risk of having it again and may prevent further complications.
How long does the shingles vaccine protect you?
Protection from the shingles vaccination typically lasts several years. Some people may require a second dose, depending on the type of vaccine received.
