Got the shingles vaccine because i had chickenpox. I believe if you did not have the pox you wont get shingles. I dont think everyone needs to be vaccinated

Just remember the shot does not stop the onset of a shingles outbreak, but lessons the severity of the attack. My wife & I got the shots a few years ago after a neighbor suffered terribly with a shingles out break. A couple of years later, my wife suffered a outbreak, which was fairly significant. It would. Have been terrible without the vaccine.

I had my yearly physical this week. Doc said there was a new vaccine out for shingles and said I should wait. See what happens to the early adopters. I took his advice. cyclop

Any side effects? The flu shot jacks me up to the point I'd rather take my chances.

Whats the story if youve had shingles? Can you get it again? If so, do you need the vaccine or is it ineffective if youve already had shingles?

I had to get a doctors prescription to get one because I "wasn't old enough". I knew a couple of people well under the age of 60 that had horrible cases. Never got a good answer why they set that age minimum at 60, and why would the new shot be at 50? Why not 40 or whenever?

I had shingles last May. Thankfully a fairly moderate case. Took the meds and it finally went away. I was told by the doc to wait a year and get a shot. What the reason is to wait a year I do not know. It definitely can come back.

I wonder if the 30 years is based on having gotten the vaccine? I had shingles when I was about 2 years old and now 62 years later I can still remember the pain. According to my doctor you can get shingles more than once which is why everyone needs to get the vaccine and is why I got my shot.
