I’m not a medical professional, just did a quick search to verify: the first shot wasn’t available for children until 1995, so older generations couldn’t get it during childhood. That shot was only for children, a version for adults over the age of 60 came later in 2006, but was limited in effectiveness. In 2017 a new vaccine was introduced with significantly higher effectiveness for people over 50.

At least two. One had it done three days later, another did it within the week. Not sure about the third person, but the other two I asked and they both said they had.

I’m glad you got yours! Definitely worth it to avoid that pain. Since it’s nerve pain, most pain meds don’t help. And the one that did lowered it from a 9 to a 7.

I got shingles last year. The first week I was back at work three people looked at me and said “I should get that vaccine”

I hope every antivaxxer gets shingles, and I hope their doctors remind them it was preventable.
