Houston Promises Free Shingles Vaccines

Progressive Conservative leader Tim Houston announced this morning a re-elected PC Government will introduce a Universal Shingles Program.

The program would provide free access to the shingles vaccine for people 65 and older.

Houston says the initial cost of the program will be $27 million in year one.

He says costs will drop below $3 million annually by year three as the program primarily focuses on people just entering the 65 and older cohort.
