when i turned 60 i did get the vaccine. i spoke to several of my drs; pcp, neuro etc and the conclusion was that the benefit outweighed the risk (of getting shingles).

i did fine. i also get the flu vaccine every yr and do fine. some people don't but i do. so, that may be the Q you need to ask and answer for yourself. does the benefit of the vaccine outweigh the risk of getting shingles.
