SHINGLES is a disease caused by the reactivation of the same virus that causes chickenpox. Unfortunately 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime with the risk increasing as we get older. The reason for this is unclear but may be due to lowered immunity as we grow older.
Shingles typically presents as a blistering rash occurring on just the one side of your face, body or head and can be Very Painful and last up to 4 weeks.
Serious Complications can develop - nerve pain that can last for months or years, and eye problems that can result in loss of vision.
The best protection against shingles is vaccination and the SHINGRIX VACCINE provides over 90% protection against shingles for individuals aged 50 years and above.
SHINGRIX vaccine is funded for individuals at the age of 65 years and includes two vaccinations spaced 8 weeks apart. You MUST start your first vaccination before you turn 66 years before the Government Health funding lapses. Without this funding this will cost you over $600.
If you think you qualify or would like to discuss further, please phone us on 07 5753073. This vaccine is also available free for certain immunocompromised individuals aged 18 and older, and is recommended BUT NOT FUNDED for those aged 50 and over.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR FLU VACCINATIONS ANNOUNCED

This year there has been increased funding including for Maori and Pacifica people.
The influenza vaccination is FULLY FUNDED for the following who may have increased risk of flu related complications.

MAORI & PACIFIC ISLAND people AGED 55 – 64 years
Pregnant people
People aged 65 years and over
People aged 6 months to under 65 years with eligible conditions
Children 4 years of age and under who have been hospitalised for respiratory illness or have a history of significant respiratory illness
People aged 6 months to under 65 years with serious mental health and addiction conditions

Everyone from the age of 6 months is recommended to receive an annual influenza vaccine to reduce the spread of the virus, and for direct protection against severe illness.
It's important to have your flu vaccine every year for important reasons:
1. Protection from the previous vaccination lessens over time
2. The circulating influenza viruses can change therefore the strains in the vaccine itself change each year in response to the circulating virus pattern.

Please phone to book on 5753073 or if you have any queries.

Kia whai whakaaro nui me te kano kano mate
