Book Your Shingles Vaccine
We offer the Shingles Vaccine at Garvey’s Pharmacy to help protect you from this painful and often long-lasting viral infection. Shingles (herpes zoster) is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you’ve had chickenpox, the virus stays in your body and can reactivate later in life as shingles.
The risk of shingles goes up as you get older, especially for people over 50 or those with a weakened immune system.
Our experienced pharmacists are here to give expert advice and administer the vaccine safely and comfortably in-store.
