I also have had shingles twice, both mild cases. I've heard conflicting reports on whether the vaccine would do any good in my case. However, if it can't do any harm, I plan to get it.

I'm not sure why anyone who never had chickenpox would get the shingles vaccine though. If you've never had the chickenpox, it's not possible to get shingles. Those who have never had chickenpox can contract chickenpox though via physical contact with someone who has shingles.
