Can anyone advise whether I should be able to have the shingles Vacinne.

Can anyone advise whether I should be able  to have the shingles vaccine on the NHS?

I believe that currently the NHS are giving it to those turning 65 and those aged between 70 and 79.

I have ET with a JAK 2 burden of 40% and am taking Hydroxycarbamide with aspirin.

When I approach my surgery they said I would be able to have the Vaccine when I reached 70.

So a fit and well younger person turning 65 can have it but I cannot? 

I'd love to hear your views
