I did. My GP strongly suggested it during my last annual physical as I had chickenpox as a child and have a nearly 50% chance of developing shingles.
I got on a waiting list for the first dose; waited about 4 months, was notified that the vaccine had arrived, went in and had the injection. I then signed up for the notification to receive my second injection, and got it after about 10 weeks.
Minor soreness and some pretty noticeable flu-like symptoms after the second dose, but I am glad I received the vaccine and glad I have a much stronger chance of not getting shingles.
Insurance covered both, including the copay.
