From 1 September 2023, the Shingrix shingles vaccine should be offered to:
all severely immunosuppressed (eligibility as defined in the Green Book Shingles chapter 28a) from 50 years of age
immunocompetent individuals who will become eligible for the Shingrix vaccine from 60 years of age in a phased implementation over a 10-year period starting with those turning 65 and 70 years of age.
The shingles vaccine is available through GP surgeries in primary care, and GPs are required to identify and put in place a call or recall arrangement to offer the shingles vaccination to eligible patients. The shingles vaccine can be offered throughout the year.
