Almost one million people across England will be offered a vaccine against shingles over the coming months, with the Shingrix jab currently already available to over-70s.
However, those over the age of 50 who are immunosuppressed will be offered the vaccine from September 1.
Those turning 65 and 70 will also be eligible to receive the vaccine after their birthday, with the NHS anticipating that an extra 900,000 in total will be offered the vaccine after the move. By September 2028, the rollout will also be expanded to those who are aged over 60 - regardless of circumstances.
