Time to get the jab again - from UPI:
CDC recommends new shingles vaccine for people over 50
On the heels of approval of a better vaccine for the painful condition shingles, adults over 50 should plan to roll up their sleeves -- again.
The new vaccine, Shingrix, will likely be recommended even for those already inoculated with an older vaccine.
An advisory panel of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Wednesday that all adults 50 and older receive the new two-shot vaccine, just days after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced its approval of Shingrix.
Planning to get this myself. I have known a couple people who had Shingles and would not wish this on anyone...
