Just a question about getting vaccine for shingles. I had shingles vaccine 12 years ago as my Doctor suggested it and because I had never had Chicken Pox as a child. Two of my sisters had shingles recently and they had been vaccinated as children. However they are both suffering from pain and it has been 5 years since they had disease. I was wondering if I should have this vaccine because it would be a 2nd dose for me as its only 12 years since my 1st vaccine?
Hope you understand my question. I’d appreciate any response.
Thank you
Anna
