Protect Yourself with the Shingles Vaccine at Manchester Chemist
What is Shingles?
Shingles is a painful viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus—the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you've had chickenpox in the past, the virus can remain dormant in your body and reactivate later in life as shingles. This condition leads to a painful rash, which can last for weeks and may cause long-term nerve pain known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
Why Get the Shingles Vaccine?
Getting vaccinated against shingles significantly reduces your risk of developing the infection and its complications. The shingles vaccine:
✅ Lowers your chances of getting shingles
✅ Reduces the severity of symptoms if you do get infected
✅ Protects against long-term nerve pain (PHN)
✅ Helps prevent shingles-related complications
Who Should Get the Shingles Vaccine?
The NHS recommends the shingles vaccine for:
- Adults aged 65 and over
- Those aged 50 and above with a weakened immune system
- Anyone eligible under the national vaccination programme
If you're unsure about your eligibility, our team at Manchester Chemist can help.
