Shingles vaccination - free

Shingles is the reactivation of the varicella virus which causes a localized and very painful rash. Vaccination is offered free of charge in Quebec as of May 1, 2023 to immunosuppressed people aged 18-79 and to people aged 80 and over. If you are not eligible or if you live in New Brunswick, but are over 50 and wish to be vaccinated, make an appointment with the "shingles vaccination" service.
