“”an old-folks malady?””
I don’t think it discriminates for age...old/young - no difference. I had it on my face when I was in my 40’s...
I don’t think the pharmacist is even too sure about the new vaccine. She’s the one who told me all the doubts about it. Still not convinced to get it.
My son had a terrible bout of chicken pox when he was 4 years old and got Shingles in his early 20s. Not necessarily an “old people’s malady”.
