GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is running a shingles disease awareness media campaign from the week commencing 21 August until the end of October 2023. The campaign, which is taking place across Radio, TV and Outdoor channels, aims to increase awareness of shingles infection 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 speak with their pharmacist or other healthcare professional for more information. This campaign may trigger increased conversations with individuals over the coming weeks. If you would like any support material such as patient information leaflets or posters to be sent to your pharmacy, please call GSK on 01 495 5000.
