Welcome to Taiglum Medical Practice
Shingles and Pneumococcal Vaccinations
The Ayrshire and Arran Health Board have taken the decision to take on the responsibility of providing shingles and pnuemococcal vaccinations to all those that are eligible. Anyone eligible for a shingles or pneumococcal vaccination will be contacted by the local vaccination teams with an appointment from the 22nd January onwards.
If you already have an appointment booked with the practice, this will still go ahead as planned. The practice is no longer permitted to offer these vaccinations to patients that have not already been booked in for an appointment
