Shingles Vaccination Eligibility Checker
Enter your patient's date of birth, and requested information below to find out if they are currently eligible for shingles vaccination on the National Immunisation Programme. Both questions are to be answered to generate a result providing guidance on eligibility.
Please note, results are based on the guidance for NHS England (UKHSA Green Book: Shingles (herpes zoster): the green book chapter). Guidance varies in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
This eligibility checker is intended to support healthcare professionals (HCPs) in identifying patients that may be eligible for shingles vaccination. The checker does not make clinical decisions and is not intended to replace individual clinical judgement of the HCP utilising the checker. The National Guidelines (UKHSA Green Book: Shingles (herpes zoster): the green book chapter) and Summary of Product Characteristics should be consulted when making treatment decisions for individual patient management.
This checker is designed to assess the eligibility of patients who have not yet received shingles vaccination.
There may be a small number of your patients that may have previously received Zostavax (herpes zoster vaccine (live)), and will be eligible for revaccination under the National Immunisation programme - please refer to the National Guidance.
