I am not a medical person, but Herpes Zoster that causes chicken pox can and does reoccur in the form of shingles. My husband sweetie had shingles right after our grandson had chicken pox and it hurt awfully.

I have read that sometimes our immune system becomes more vulnerable to shingles as we get older.

I am going to get the shot. They are offering them in TV? When and where?

We are in Ohio now and I appreciate the heads up!
