If you are in your seventies you may be eligible to receive a free shingles vaccination under the national programme. We would recommend that all patient’s in their 70s are vaccinated against shingles. Shingles and its complications can be difficult to treat and can lead to long term nerve pain.

Please look at the information on the NHS.uk website

and look up to see if you are eligible then book an appointment with the practice nurse
