According to my doctor, the vaccine is for only 60 yr old of older. I am 56 now and have never wanted to think about 60 until now. I don't ever want to go through having shingles again....or bc for that matter. I will press my doctor for the vaccine because I am sure the only reason they say 60 or older is because that is the test group they did the study on. What's four years?
