I was offered the Shingles vaccine at my doctor's appt a few weeks ago, and was not prepared for that option as I had not realized they now are recommending this new vaccine for those or us that are at least 50. I turned it down, as I wanted to research it.

I am not finding a lot of info to help me make a decision, but am leaning towards getting it. I know a couple of people who have had Shingles and it was awful/impacted them for a long time. OTOH, I am not someone who automatically wants to get every vaccine..so any input/information I should consider?

Thanks!
