I had chickenpox when I was young.
My dad, when he was 80-something, got shingles. It did not look like fun.
I spoke to my doctor about the shingles vaccine. He suggested I wait until I turned 60 to get the vaccine (due to how long the vaccine remains effective).
It is a two-part and I got round one three months ago. This is a live-virus vaccine. The next day was bad. Achy and feverish.
I got round 2 on Wednesday. Wednesday evening I felt like I had been hit by a truck...
