Galway Walks for Free Shingles Vaccine

Galway’s community is rallying tomorrow for free shingles vaccines, turning a health equity issue into a powerful grassroots march. With costs hitting 500 euros, the vaccine is out of reach for many—especially older adults and immunocompromised individuals. Organized by Active Retirement Ireland and local groups like Knocknacarra, the walk from Claddagh Hall to Salthill’s Circle of Life Garden will blend activism with energy, drawing over 23,000 petition signatures nationwide. Ireland’s refusal to fund this vital prevention tool puts it at odds with global standards. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a demand: healthcare shouldn’t be a privilege.
