My doctor gave me a shingles shot in my 60's.

My uncle didn't get one and he got the shingles in his 90's. He was a WWII vet who never complained about anything, except the extreme pain he felt, from the shingles. He was in a lot of pain for several years and it disabled, his arm.

The only relief he got from the singles is the day he died!!!

I wouldn't be able to put a price tag on being in pain for several years. It's worth every penny of what a shot may cost.

The short answer is a resounding YES!!!!.

Get the shot.
