It hurt so bad she could not stand to have anything touch the affected area, so she went around the house topless for about two weeks. I cut up a T-shirt so there was no material on the left shoulder, so she only had to go semi-topless part of the time.
So yes, I got my shingles shots.

But seriously, I had the vaccine at 48 because I never had Chicken Pox
