Fund more shingles vaccines. Make it available for those age 60+

Closed 31 signatures

What the petition asks

We think the government should bring the age down to 60 to qualify for the shingles vaccine.
People can get Shingles and become really ill, even in their 50s. It doesn't only affect people from age 65 (the age it is available from at present).
