I didn't realize there was a shingles vaccine. I guess I would be immune as I have had chicken pox which is the same virus. . Bill has had shingles, very painful condition!!!

I also had chicken pox as a child, I wouldn't have the vaccine anyway and because I don't qualify being under the age.

I will not have the injection as I am allergic to it.

You can still get shingles, even if you have had chicken pox and you can get shingles more than once.
