Per CDC guidelines, you can get the shingles vaccination at age 60. As soon as I hit 60 (later this year), I will get it. Luckily, my health insurance covers in full.

Medicare Part D covers (most of) the costs for the vaccination. Info at above link. You can also find links for info on all recommended adult immunizations.
