Details

The shingles vaccination programme aims to reduce the incidence and severity of shingles in those targeted by the programme by boosting individuals’ pre-existing varicella zoster virus immunity.

This report highlights the lower coverage achieved in the routine and catch-up cohort in 2015 to 2016 compared with previous years. GPs are urged to continue to offer vaccinations to these cohorts as per current guidance, to improve protection in these age groups.

In the third year of the programme (2015 to 2016), the vaccine was offered to adults:

  • aged 70 years on 1 September 2015 (born between 2 September 1944 and 1 September 1945)
  • aged 78 years on 1 September 2015 (born between 2 September 1936 and 1 September 1937)

Last year’s report for comparison.
