Shingles Vaccine

Shingles

Shingles is a skin rash which can vary in pain levels. It’s caused by a reactivation of the chickenpox virus.

Vaccinating against shingles

It’s worthwhile considering a shingles vaccination to prevent you from catching the virus. The older you are, the higher your risk, and the worse the infection can be.

Symptoms of shingles can vary from person to person, however, the rash can become extremely painful, to the point where clothing touching the skin can be unbearable.
