Yeah, I'd get the shingles vax in a heartbeat, but I've gotta wait another 6 years. Meanwhile I know several people who developed shingles in their forties and have lingering issues from it (particularly ophthalmic). The vaccine needs to be tested and approved for younger adults. But I doubt that'll happen. They'll just wait until those of us who got chicken pox as a kid are old enough for the shingles vaccine, and who cares if we get shingles in the meantime!

I’ve always wondered if there’s a chance we make the shingles virus extinct, but never looked into whether the chicken pox vaccine prevents it entirely
