It makes all the difference in the world if you get immediate treatment.
My doctor advised me I could get Shingles a third time, but with the vaccine, it will be less severe.

Bare - please check. My wife was told by 2 of her docs that she should not ever have a shingles shot since she has had shingles. But she has MS and that may create a separate issue.
