Shingles Vaccination Edinburgh
If you’ve had chickenpox then you are at risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster). YourGP provides the Zostavax vaccine which reduces the risk of getting this painful condition.
Zostavax is for individuals 50 years of age and older. It reduces the risk of reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. It also reduces the extent of symptoms and the severity of the pain associated with the condition.
YourGP provides the Shingles vaccine in Edinburgh as a short-notice treatment delivered by our trained and experienced team.
Shingles Causes & Symptoms
- Shingles produces a rash or blister that generally appears on one side of the body
- The virus that causes it is the same one that causes chicken pox. It remains dormant in the body after a person has recovered from chicken pox
- For some people, shingles can cause severe and chronic pain

In Edinburgh, when you come in for your treatment we will take a medical history and discuss the Shingles vaccination with you. We’ll then make you as comfortable and calm as possible.

I needed a quick appointment as I was leaving for America. The doctor listened and allayed any concerns. It was a pleasure to talk to a doctor who wasn’t watching the clock and not paying attention to me. I left confident that if a problem arose I would be able to deal with it until I arrived home. The experience left me feeling confident and positive.
