We have a ‘1st dose’ Shingles vaccine clinic on Saturday 22 March 2025. This will be our final ‘1st dose’ clinic until Spring.
We will automatically reserve your 2nd dose once you’ve received Dose 1. You will be notified of the date and time of your 2nd dose booking.
ELIGIBILITY for the 2-dose course of Shingrix®, given 2-6 months apart in most cases, includes:
- people aged 65 years and older
- First Nations people aged 50 years and older
- immunocompromised people aged 18 years and older with medical conditions including:
- haemopoietic stem cell transplant
- solid organ transplant
- haematological malignancy
- advanced or untreated HIV.
(Immunocompromised people may need an Appointment with their GP to determine eligibility & timing of doses.)
Anyone who has received a free Zostavax shingles vaccine in the past will need to wait 5 years from the date of vaccination before being eligible for a Shingrix. If in doubt, book an Appointment with your GP to determine eligibility and the timing of your doses.
Anyone who paid for a Zostavax shingles vaccine in the past may receive a free Shingrix vaccine if eligible. You should wait at least 12 months between receiving Zostavax and getting the Shingrix vaccine.
Anyone who has had Shingles (the condition) within the last 12 months will need an Appointment with their GP to determine their eligibility and the timing of their doses.
Due to limitations on supply, we will continue to offer Shingrix vaccines only to current patients. To ensure we manage stock appropriately, Shingrix vaccines are only provided during dedicated Shingrix vaccination clinics.
