Shingles

Absurd rules that mean you can get a vital shingles jab if you're 65 or 70 - but not if you're aged 66 to 69

With its agonizingly painful rash, fever, and headaches - and risk of serious complications including pneumonia - shingles is an illness best avoided. It is essential to protect yourself against this debilitating condition, especially if you fall within the age range where vaccination is available.

However, there are inconsistencies in the rules regarding shingles vaccination, leaving certain age groups vulnerable. It is crucial to stay informed about the guidelines in your area to ensure you are taking the necessary steps to safeguard your health.
