Shingles Awareness Campaign
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is running a Shingles Awareness Week commencing 26 February 2024 until 3 March 2024, in collaboration with the International Federation on Ageing (IFA). This is a global campaign which is taking place across Radio, TV and Outdoor channels. It aims to increase awareness of shingles disease by highlighting who is at risk, the signs and symptoms of shingles and its impact on quality of life. The general public will be advised to visit www.understandingshingles.ie and encouraged to speak with their pharmacist or other healthcare professional for more information. This campaign may trigger increased conversations with individuals over the coming weeks. GSK support material such as patient information leaflets or posters can be ordered here.
