He is going to get it as soon as the Dr clears him to get it. Now I think it is a good idea.
I came down with the shingles last June and still have the discomfort across my stomach and 1/2 of my back. It's not as intense as it was in during the 1st few months but it's still there. I would highly recommend the vaccination. I can't get it until I am completely symptom free and who knows when that will be.
