As for the shingles shot...wanted to get it a couple of years ago but was told it was very expensive. Then we came down here and was told the same thing. Some insurances may pay for it but mine apparently does not. I'd hate to get the illness as the people I know who've had it say it's nasty. You'd think that insurance companies and BIG drug companies would want to get together and let people have this shot.

I hear what you're saying about the expense. But another way to look at it is, how much will it cost you if you get shingles? How much in doctor's visits and medication? It may be a choice of pay now or pay later. And, who needs or wants the pain and suffering? It may be wiser to save up the money for the vaccination than chance getting the virus.
