Shingles Treatment + Assessment

Shingles is a viral disease that is more common in people aged 50 and above, or in people who have a weakened immune system. If you have a skin concern and are feeling generally unwell, with or without fever, you should seek care with another provider. Symptoms may include:

  • Deep, throbbing pain
  • Itchy red rash with blisters

If you are looking for a shingles vaccine, please book a vaccine appointment with your local pharmacy.
