Shingle Awareness Week Webinar
Join Dr. Samir Sinha and Dr. Vivien Brown this Shingles Awareness Week, to address the significant issue of shingles infections in older Canadians. Over 90,000 new cases occur annually among those aged 50+, costing the health care system $67-82 million yearly. Despite the availability of effective vaccines, only 38.8% of Canadians aged 50+ are vaccinated, leaving many at risk for severe complications. This webinar will cover the health impacts of shingles, policy recommendations to improve vaccine uptake, and practical steps to enhance awareness and access.
