Yes, that is the only vaccine I have received lately is the shingles one. My uncle had a horrible case of it so I wanted to prevent it. My sister has had it a few times.

I had a spot of shingles on my back about the size of a silver dollar when I was in my middle forties. My doctor looked at my back and said “ you’ve had chickenpox “. I said yes when I was young. He said “no I’m telling you you’ve had chickenpox and that shingles outbreak is the result of that”. He told me to get rest and work on eating right to get my immune system working better and gave me a lotion to help with the pain. Each time my cotton tee shirt touch the shingles spot it felt like a torch flame. Then a year or so ago I had them come back on my forehead and was advised to see an eye doctor. It seems the chickenpox virus lives forever in your spinal fluid and can inflame nerves endings anywhere on or in your body and can even cause blindness. The Veterans medical coverage covers the vax, so I went and got it after I got over that out break and had an eye examination. Anyone who’s had chickenpox needs to get that vax. It’s been researched and tested for years unlike Covid crap. Anyone that’s had shingles has my deepest sympathy. Until you’ve been there you haven’t delt with pain. IMO Regards
