You old guys get Shingles vaccinations?
My understanding is that they recommend the new shingles vaccine for folks over 50. The old vaccine is recommended for folks over 60.
Apparently, shingles when you're older can be really bad (worse than when you're young?) causing nerve pain that may be permanent or long term, vision loss and other issues.
In England, they wait until you're 70 to worry about the vaccination.
Anyone partaking?
