My doctor wants me to get a vaccine for shingles. I get the flu vaccine every year, so I am reluctant to get another vaccine, is this necessary?
The Shingles vaccine is very good at preventing shingles, which can be a very painful rash in people who were previously exposed to the chicken pox virus. It can also prevent complications from shingles. If you are over age 60 it is recommended. So if your doctor thinks it is a good idea, so do we.
