Shingles Vaccine at Chelsfield Pharmacy
Shingles is a painful viral infection caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus (Varicella Zoster) in the body. It can lead to severe nerve pain, blisters, and long-term complications like post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). The shingles vaccine helps boost immunity, reduce the risk of developing shingles, and minimise severe symptoms if the virus reactivates.
At Chelsfield Pharmacy in Orpington, we provide a safe and effective shingles vaccination service to help protect adults, especially those over 50 years old or with weakened immune systems from this debilitating condition.
Benefits of the Shingles Vaccine
Who Needs the Shingles Vaccine?
The shingles vaccine is recommended for individuals at higher risk of developing shingles and its complications. If you’ve had chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your body and can reactivate later in life, leading to shingles. The vaccine provides long-term protection and reduces the severity of the illness if it occurs.
Adults aged 50 and over – Higher risk of severe shingles and complications.
Individuals with weakened immune systems – More prone to severe infections.
Anyone who has had chickenpox – The virus can reactivate later in life.
