Thumbs up Shingles

I have had the shingles twice and the first time I was under 60 and I couldn't get the shot and then was foolish and put off getting it and after getting it a second time when the doctor gave me the okay I got the shot. My husband who never had them also received the shot after seeing what I went thru. We heard that there was a 6 month wait and then found out theatRite Aid was having a clinic and called and we were the last two to get on the list. They only receive a limited number of the vacine so we were very lucky as they didn't know when they would be having another clinic. Our insurace paid for the administration of the shot ($50.00) and we each paid $200.00 but well worth it between what you would spend on medication and the discomfort.
