GlaxoSmithKline ( (GB:GSK) ) has provided an update.

GSK has secured European Commission approval for a new prefilled syringe presentation of its shingles vaccine Shingrix, which is already authorised in the EU for prevention of herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia in adults at risk, marking an incremental innovation in its established vaccines franchise. The prefilled format, which will roll out across EU countries from 2026, is designed to simplify administration for healthcare professionals by eliminating the current two‑vial reconstitution process, potentially supporting broader and more efficient vaccination against a disease that affects around 1.7 million people annually in Europe and poses heightened risks for older adults and those with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GSK) stock is a Hold with a £16.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GlaxoSmithKline stock, see the GB:GSK Stock Forecast page.
