Shingles Vaccine


Reminder – Our fellow Alliance of Age Sector NGOs member Active Retirement Ireland have a petition calling on Government to provide funding for Shingles Vaccine for adults aged 65 and over. Please support.

👉 Sign our petition today – it closes at 5pm on Friday 31 July!
Protect Older Adults: Make the Shingles Vaccine Free for 65+

We’ve already reached an incredible 26,000+ signatures – now let’s make one final push to 30,000 before the petition closes.

Every signature will strengthen our message when we present the petition to government ahead of Budget 2027.

Our campaign is calling for fair, state-supported access to the shingles vaccine for adults aged 65+, so that older people are not prevented from accessing this important vaccine because of cost.

Please help us get over the line by:
✅ Signing the petition if you haven’t already
✅ Sharing it on your Facebook page
✅ Posting it in your WhatsApp groups
✅ Asking your family, friends and neighbours to sign

Together, we’ve built an incredible campaign. Let’s finish strong and show government just how much support there is for this issue.

Thank you for your continued support. Every signature counts.
