It’s not just a rash — it’s fire on your skin. Then comes the sting, and it lingers for weeks.

Shingles is caused by the same virus that gave you chickenpox. It didn’t go away — it just went to sleep in your body and can wake up years later when your immune system is weaker.

Most people don’t realise how painful it is until it disrupts your everyday life. And even if you’ve had shingles before, it can come back.

Starting this September, the shingles vaccine will be subsidised under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), making protection more accessible than ever.

🔗 If you’re a Singaporean senior (age 60+), or immunocompromised (age 18-59), register your interest today: https://connect.ihhhealthcare.com/ps/enroll?source=FB-ShingrixPMC

From September 2025, eligible Singaporeans can receive subsidies for the shingles vaccine at Parkway Shenton and Parkway MediCentre CHAS clinics. If you are:

Think of blood pressure like your phone battery – ignore the warnings, and everything slows down. 💓 The catch? High blood pressure doesn’t always show symptoms. It creeps in quietly and puts your heart, brain, and kidneys under pressure.

But managing it doesn’t mean a complete overhaul. It’s that evening walk you keep putting off, the veggie portion you meant to add, or the water you forgot to drink.

Not sure where you stand? Your GP can check your pressure, spot risks early, and help you stay in control.
