Tudacee,
My doctor told me that it was unknown whether the vaccine would prevent shingles from returning if you had already had shingles. That's why I asked previously. I wonder if the question has been/ is being studied further. I'm sure all of us who have had it previously would love to prevent a repeat.
I'm with you, if you haven't had shingles, get the vaccine!
