Department of Health and Aged Care promotes shingles vaccination
The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care is stressing the importance of ‘shielding yourself from shingles’ through a suite of resources designed to help health professionals have informative, supportive, culturally appropriate conversations about herpes zoster (shingles) vaccination with their patients.
The package includes clinical advice, a podcast, videos, a fact sheet and posters for display in healthcare settings.
A two-dose course of the shingles vaccine Shingrix is now free under the National Immunisation Program for all adults aged 65 years and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 years and over, and people aged 18 years and over with selected severe immunocompromising conditions.
