I’m told all vaccines are imported by the Health dept and they have declines to bring in the shingles vaccines, Shingrix. This is more than 90% effective against shingles as opposed to the older vaccine which is only 50% effective. Having watched both my parents suffer with shingles I’m shocked the Health Dept doesn’t do more to protect older peoples’ health.
