**Please note - Shingrix vaccination information can be found at the link below:
The below information is an extract from the above Immunisation Handbook website.
"For Shingrix, a 2-dose schedule is recommended, 2–6 months apart, for people who are immunocompetent. For people who are immunocompromised, 2 doses of Shingrix are recommended at an interval of 1–2 months. Shingrix is funded under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for all adults aged ≥65 years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged ≥50 years and selected groups aged ≥18 years with severe immunocompromise.
For Zostavax, a single dose is recommended. Zostavax is no longer used in the NIP.
There is currently no booster recommendation for either zoster vaccine."
