ThinkGP live webinar - Herpes zoster in older people: Opportunities for prevention

This national webinar features Dr Anita Sharma speaking about the risk of shingles (herpes zoster) and its complications in individuals aged 50 years and over, with a focus on how that risk is influenced by advancing age and common chronic conditions. Current Australian recommendations for shingles vaccination will be discussed, alongside a review of the shingles vaccines available in Australia. GPs will be invited to consider how they might improve shingles vaccine uptake among over-50s in their practice.
