My dad had painful shingles for the last decade of his life. He lived to be 89 (a month short of 90).
He suffered pretty badly from it. So I have had interest in possibly getting
the (a) shingles vaccine. Still researching it and am undecided.
I’m pretty hesitant about ALL vaccines at present, understandably.
Thanks for posting this.

It looks like you have figured out the secret of good health.

Trust nobody.

You are on your own.

I got it for about the same reason. My 80 year old uncle had a bad case of shingles all over his body. I was not interested in getting my own case.

My mother had a bad case of shingles for the last 10 years of her life.

I first got the less effective shingles shot abou 15 years ago. Then about 10 years ago I got the more effective shingles shot.

They say the more effective shingles shot does a good job of warding off shingles. I’m 72 now. So I won’t know for sure for another 10-20 years.
