Are you currently 65 years of age?
Did you know that while you are 65 years, you are eligible for Government Funded vaccines, including the Shingles Vaccine.
Shingles is the re-emergence of the Varicella Zoster Virus, more commonly known as Chickenpox.
Shingles, though not as contagious as chickenpox, can be very painful, and appears as a rash that develops on one side of the body, face or head. The rash contains small blisters that generally scab over after 7 – 10 days.
If you are currently 65 years, now is the time to book your shingles vaccine appointment with the nurse. Call the practice today on 03 383 0219 to secure an appointment.
