Qatar now offers shingles vaccine to adults 50+ and those with certain health conditions.
Qatar has added the shingles vaccine to its National Immunization Programme, making it available to adults over 50 and those aged 19 and older with immune-related conditions or chronic illnesses.
The two-dose vaccine, given two to six months apart, will be offered at all Primary Health Care Corporation centers without appointments.
The move aligns with global health guidelines from the WHO, CDC, FDA, and EMA, which recognize the vaccine’s high effectiveness in preventing shingles and reducing complications, with a strong safety record.
It is now part of national immunization schedules in over 45 countries.
To ensure proper administration, the Ministry of Public Health will train healthcare providers across public and private sectors.
