I had the old shot  years ago now I have had the two shots as it works way better-get that. I made a mistake and got a pneumonia at same time at that was to much-just get one at a time.

Denice, I got the 1st shot when I was 58.  The old shot.  I was horrified by what my friend had gone through.  I paid for it out of pocket. Then I got Shingrix shots about 4 years ago.  I didn't realize they expired.  I will ask my dr about that.  My friend was sick for a month.   It really hits some people hard.  Yes, be sure to put it on your calendar.  We simply do not need more issues that can be easily prevented with a vaccine!   Just my opinion.

My husband's eye doctor is the person who told us that it expires in five years.   We were planning to take a trip to Wyoming in Sept.  keeping my fingers crossed that he is over the shingles by then.   I think Shingrix should give a lot more info on the different types of shingles  I am sure a lot more people would get the shot if they knew they could lose their sight in one eye,  hearing in one ear for have half their face paralyzed.    Denice
