I agree, ltbd. Our son's father-in-law got shingles in 2009 and is still suffering from lingering side effects. I was advised at age 60 to get the shot. Insurance companies won't cover it then because they want you to wait till you're 65 and get it kicked over to medicare prescription coverage, according to my doctor at the time. But I'd seen enough of the devastation caused by shingles.
