When I turned 60 this past year, my husband urged me to get the shingles vaccine. He explained that many elderly ( if you call 60 and over elderly) get the shingles virus and it is extremely painful. In many cases this can be prevented, just like preventing chicken pox when we are children. We can opt to get the shingles vaccine. If you are in this elderly/senior category please read the article and go to your primary care physician and tell him you want the shingles vaccine.
