Soooo glad I got varicella vaccine for my son! Prevention is good. Sounds like shingles vacc is something we should all look at. I had checked into it but CDC recommends only after 60. This may be different for folks with nerve issues though. Maybe they will give it earlier. Sure worth a look....

Also glad I am a germaphobe from hospital work so somewhat OCD about hand washing. Hopefully I did not curse anyone with this!
