Get a shingles vaccination

You can reduce your risk of getting shingles by getting vaccinated.

Who should have the shingles vaccine

The shingles vaccine is recommended for some older adults and people with a severely weakened immune system.

  • People who turn 65 on or after 1 September 2023
  • People aged 70 to 79
  • People aged 50 and over with a severely weakened immune system

You can get shingles more than once, so it's important to get vaccinated even if you've had shingles before.
