Shingles - an evil that can be avoided



I've been afraid of getting Shingles since the early 90's when I witnessed the suffering it caused a neighbour.  You can imagine how pleased I was to learn that there is now a vaccine available to protect one from ever contracting this awful virus.


I was vaccinated last week - there was no reaction or side effect - and I'm a happy girl.  I highly recommend it.
