NEW SHINGLES VACCINE – SHINGRIX (BEST PRICE IN LONDON)
We have a limited supply of the new Shingles vaccine – Shingrix, which is manufactured by GSK. The vaccine is not available in the UK and has been specifically imported from the EU. Globally, this vaccine is in extremely short supply and it is unlikely that supply of vaccine will meet demand for a number of years. The vaccine is authorized in all EU member states but has only been able to launch it in 3 countries so far as supply cannot meet demand. This is even the case in the US, where Shingrix was first launched in late 2017. There is unlikely to be a NHS program for it in the near future.
How to secure your booking for Shingrix
Due to the limited availability of the vaccine, we must charge you for the full course when booking your first appointment (this must be done over the phone or in person). We believe we offer the best price for Shingrix on the market. The cost is £250 per dose (£500 for the full course of 2 vaccines given two to six months apart) and we don’t charge any other fees!
