Back in 2016 my 84 year old father, who had stage 4 COPD was moved to a nursing home to live out his final months. After a week in the nursing home he came down with shingles. He went from lucid, oxygen on 2 and only taking morphine when needed to fully sedated with the oxygen turned all the way up. The last thing he said was he was in terrible pain and needed a shot. As soon as he fell asleep from the morphine we knew he was never waking up. 4 days later he was dead.

My suggestion for the nursing home was every new resident should have a shingles vaccination.
