The vaccine is for people age 60 and older. Here is a good site explaining what the results are, etc.
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/...s/vac-faqs.htm
I had Chicken pox when I was young. I've also had Shingles. I do not intend to get this vaccine for Shingles.
My cousin had Chicken Pox when she was young and she just got over a bout with Shingles. She caught it in time and was given a drug for it, can't remember the name, and it cleared up in no time. But the drug has to be given within so many hours of knowing you have a Shingles attack. I never had the drug - just rode out the awful Shingles attack.
