Shingles vaccine
Shingles can be a very painful nerve and skin condition and is more common among older people and some people with a suppressed immune system. There is a vaccine that can reduce your chance of getting shingles, or if you do get shingles, it can reduce how severe and long lasting the symptoms can be.
For more information about shingles and the benefit of the vaccine visit www.nhsinform.scot/shingles
The shingles vaccination is delivered by the health board vaccination team. Eligible patients will be invited by letter.
