On a related point:

Here's an article that references situations where a shingles vaccine is NOT recommended - towards the bottom:

Shingles vaccine: Should I get it? - MayoClinic.com

Sandy is a Remicade patient - it's a great help with her arthritis. She's not 60 yet but was considering getting the shingles vaccine in a few years. Member VMI-74 tipped me off to the conflict between Remicade and the vaccine - - - quite the shock when we found out! Kudos to VMI-74 - thank you!!!

I hope any medical provider administering the vaccine shots is aware of the potential issues.

Me? "Been there, had that" - shingles, that it. The case I had about 10 years ago was pretty mild by most standards. Guess I was lucky! I'll be getting the vaccine, for sure!
