Thread Name: BS: Shingles shot
Subject: RE: BS: Shingles shot
I'll probably get it. My history with chicken pox is atypical. I didn't get it until I was in my teens, despite my mother taking me to play with kids who had it. When I did get it, I got it bad.

I'm pretty sure I can just walk into a pharmacy here and my insurance will pay for it, IF I can't get it through my regular provider. They say you should wait until age 60. I'm guessing it's risk vs the possible need for booster shots down the road. Pretty sure I got the one for pneumococcus already.
