Patient says Manx Care no longer funding shingles vaccine 

Pensioner was scheduled to get it this month

It's understood shingle vaccines across the Island will no longer be funded by Manx Care. 

It's after a pensioner, who was scheduled to get one this month, told Manx Radio he received a call from his doctor's surgery to say it's been cancelled. 

According to the 70-year-old, he was told it was 'due to cost cuts'.

UPDATE

Manx Care says it will be rolling out the Shingles vaccine.

"There has been a delay whilst a funding decision has been made however following funding approval the roll out will now begin by Manx Care."
