People who are eligible for their free shingles vaccine will be invited to attend their local vaccination centre from January 2024.  The shingles vaccine will help reduce the risk of getting shingles and, if you do develop shingles, will reduce the severity of symptoms.

People aged 65 and over and those with certain health conditions will be invited to attend their local vaccination centre for their free pneumococcal vaccination.  The pneumococcal vaccine will help reduce the risk of getting pneumonia and, if you do develop pneumonia, will reduce the severity of symptoms.
