There's a big poster up in my doctor's office for the elderly to get their Shingles vaccine. I forget at what age it is recommended, but will get mine when the time comes. My neighbor had it and it was just dreadful for her, painful and the pain sometimes lingers after the "episode is over " .... a real nightmare.
The age suggested is 60. However, I hear all the time about folks younger than that getting shingles.
