Description

Shingles is a painful viral infection caused by the chickenpox virus. Anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk of developing shingles.

The shingles vaccine reduces your risk of getting the shingles infection and, if you do get shingles, it reduces the chance of developing complications.

Vaccination against shingles is available to all New Zealanders over 50 years old, and free for those over 65. You are eligible to get a free shingles vaccination for 12 months once you turn 65.

This service is only available to those aged 50 years or older, and the cost is $475.00.

Book online in advance to secure your appointment, then pay in-store at your appointment. Walk-in appointments are not available for this service as we need to order vaccinations in advance.
