I just looked and it says Acyclovir is available over-the-counter.
acyclovir can help once you get shingles. according to the stuff that I posted, if you believe it, the vaccine is 90% effective at preventing it.

maybe never get it vs it was only painful for a few days. (that's assuming you get a mild case and don't end up with any of the more severe or permanent issues)
