I'm in Johannesburg South Africa. Shingrix is not available in SA only Zovirax. As a CLL sufferer who has had one session of Shingles has anyone been able to obtain Shingrix in South Africa??

Responding to kick your question back up to the top. Maybe there is someone there who missed your question. Is this something your doctor can investigate? I’m in Southern California and have been unable to get it in my area, but my brother, who is about 100 miles south, and is not immune compromised, had no problem. My hematologist just told me that I can get it through my center at my next appointment. I hope you find a resource!

Not what you're looking for?
