12.01.2022 Are you eligible for the free shingles shot? The shingles vaccine, Zostavax, has been approved to be placed on the National Immunisation Program (NIP), to be provided free of charge from 1 November 2016 to people aged 70 years, subject to vaccine supply. There will be a five year catch-up program for people aged 71 79 years.... Herpes-zoster (Shingles) is a painful blistering rash caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus the same virus that causes chickenpox. The shingles rash occurs when the dormant chickenpox virus is reactivated in the nerve tissue, causing inflammation of the nerves. Pain in the affected region can be severe and prolonged. Other less common complications may include scarring, skin infections, loss of vision or hearing, pneumonia, or neurological complications. Shingles is a vaccine preventable disease. Immunisation against shingles is achieved by a dose of the Zostavax vaccine which can be given to adults 50 years and over who have not been vaccinated against chicken pox. People who are not eligible to receive the free vaccine are able to purchase the vaccine on the private market. Vaccinations dont stop at childhood. Ask your GP or Practice Nurse about other vaccines you may be eligible for.
