I, too, am considering this. My wife is now recovering from shingles. It was a long painful process for her and the marks take a long time to go away. 

She was told that individuals who had smallpox previously were more susceptible to getting shingles.

That's what i read too Zed

I took the pneumonia and tetanus ones she recommended so far laat week 

The say that if you have had chicken pox that the shingle virus is already in your body, it is only a matter of time that it becomes active so the vaccine is essential.

I am due a while for the vaccine,i hate medications so far i am ok ,all i take is one baby asprin and one Red Rice Yeast capsule.

I was made to understand that the shingles vaccine is now free in Ontario, before the doctors wanted about $160.00.If it is free take it , shingles is very painful and leaves ugly scares.

Not free KP 200 bucks a pop. I do not have insurance coverage so I have to pay

I hate needles. Don't like doing blood tests. Ironically, I am not afraid of the needle when donating blood which I do very often.
