Shingles Vaccination
I just wanted to share or inform anyone that is not aware of a shingles vaccination.
My doctor gave me a shot when I turned 65 and I believe he said this is a needed vaccination in addition to the pnuemonia vaccination.
My uncle who will be 98 shortly has developed this condition and it is extremely painful. He can't use his left arm or hand. His daughter has to dress him.
My uncle is a WW2 veteran and is the type of person who can tolerate a lot of pain. When my cousin tells me he is complaining, I know he is in a lot of pain.
Hope this helps someone.
