Default Shingles vaccine available this year. To get or not to get??
Can anyone offer their opinions/knowledge regarding the wisdom of getting the shot?
The following is typical of the many sites offering Q & A on the matter:

We do have part D and the co pay with our insurer is $70. We have never given it a second thought until it was present as an opportunity in The Daily Sun within the clinics to be held here in TV.

I will be contacting our family physician in the coming days, but would appreciate any other inputs.
