Shingles Vaccination


A vaccination that helps reduce the risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster) and its complications.


Key benefits:

  • Helps reduce your risk of developing shingles
  • Recommended for adults 50 and over
  • Convenient access without a GP visit

What is the Shingles Vaccination?

This service may be suitable if you:

  • Are 50 or older, or otherwise eligible under current guidance
  • Would like to reduce your risk of developing shingles


This vaccine is for prevention only and is not a treatment for an active shingles episode — speak to a pharmacist or your GP about treatment options.

Who May Benefit from Shingles Vaccination?

Shingles vaccination is for prevention only — it is not a treatment for an active shingles episode, and eligibility is generally for adults aged 50 and over, or as set by current National Immunisation Program criteria. 


If you currently have a shingles rash, speak to a pharmacist about treatment options or see your GP. 


Common side effects include soreness at the injection site. 


Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) for full details.

Important Information

Be prepared to discuss:

  • Your age and general health
  • Whether you currently have or have recently had shingles
  • Any previous shingles vaccination


During Your Vaccination

Your pharmacist will confirm your eligibility, generally for adults aged 50 and over, and check you don’t currently have anactive shingles episode.


You’ll then receive the injection, with a brief monitoring period afterward.

Am I eligible for a subsidised dose?

This depends on your age and risk factors - Harpers Pharmacy can check current eligibility.


I already have shingles - can I get this vaccine now?

No - if you currently have an active shingles episode, you need treatment first. Speak to a pharmacist about treatment options, or see your GP.
