The worst was having chicken pox as a kid makes me likely to get shingles as a geezer. I have had the shot to help prevent that. I get the pneumonia vaccination and a flu shot every year.
I grew up in the leave it to beaver era, and ate many meals with hands dirtier than mom would have approved of. She would ask if we washed out hands, and we always figured that meant when we took a bath that morning.  |
Same here, in fact I got the initial shingles vaccine when I turned 60 but had a break out anyway, wasn't too bad but not at all fun.
Last year I upgraded to the newer 2 step vaccine. The 2 shot is s'posed to be far more efficacious.
