I was reading about this recently and am thinking about things like this as I approach retirement. I did have a mild case of chicken pox in my early teens. I have been told that this makes me a good candidate for getting Shingles as I get older.

Consider it seriously. We have been witness to several people suffering very VERY badly with shingles. The shot is encouraged for all people over sixty. It made my arm sore but Sweetie didn't have any reaction at all.
