[Webinar] Shingles Awareness Week

Join Dr. Samir Sinha and Dr. Vivien Brown this Shingles Awareness Week, February 27 from 12:00–1:00 PM EST, to address the significant issue of shingles infections in older Canadians.
Over 90,000 new cases of shingles occur annually among those aged 50+, costing the health care system $68 million yearly. Despite the availability of effective vaccines, only 39% of Canadians aged 50+ have received at least one dose, leaving many unnecessarily vulnerable to 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. Register now to attend.
