Do NOT put off the getting the shot. I've had recurring shingles since my 20s. I'm pretty lucky -- most of the time it is more of an irritant to me than truly painful. Some bouts, though, can and have brought me to my knees. Sadly, I can't get the shot due to allergies. So, if the option is there for you, get the shot and get it now.
