My wife got shingles in her ear years ago. Yikes! Yes I got the new shingles vaccine when it came out. In studies, Shingrix was more than 97% effective at preventing shingles in people 50 and older. It works just as well in older adults, who are at greater risk for a painful shingles complication called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). "When 70- and 80-year-olds get shingles, it can be extremely debilitating," Chen says.Nov 13, 2019

Get the shot. Shingles is an opportunistic disease. When you get sick and weak it emerges and makes a hard life even more so. It is often painful and constant. I often hear it described as fire under the skin. Respect it, take precautions against it. Its a nasty secondary aspect of a reduced immune response.

Vaccines have saved mankind from immeasurable hardship. I have been required to have many vaccines and shots over my lifetime. I remember fighting off 3 orderlies, a doctor, and a male nurse when 'asked' to take my first flu shot when I was about 6 years old. They gave it to my mother and the needle went in at least an inch! That was that, I was no longer game for a flu shot. At a later date I progressed to getting a typhoid shot in my right arm, a cholera in my left, a gamma globulin in my ass, an oral polio, and I do believe I had a smallpox inoculation at that time as well. (It is amazing what the government will do to keep you ready to serve their needs) All of these were vaccines subject to long testing periods, some were recalled and re issued at a later date. I probably could have opted out of any particular one if it appeared I might suffer serious side effects---other than the incredibly deranged mental state I experienced when mixing this medical cocktail with a more satisfying bourbon antiseptic cleanse, I survived quite well. But it was a different era and we didn't suffer pussy motherfkrs who whined about everything back then. And we (society at the time) had historical memories of uncles dying of whooping cough, fathers almost dying of measles, friends disfigured from infections, kids on the street in iron lungs, grandparents invalided by flu and, what we would now, consider barbaric medicinal practices. TB took many people. Even dental disease was a serious mortality risk. I'm currently up to date on my 'old foggie' shots as well. I believe in the economic positive effects of vaccines and medicines that battle disease. I’ve seen the terrible effects on those that manage to survive massive infections. I do not view the most recent faucian requirements as reasonable. ( This is the man that fomented the Aids fiasco, the inhuman treatment of sufferers, and who made quite a profit from other human deaths.--then and now) The same whining pathetic creatures who have resisted vaccines for decades now suddenly demand we take an experimental array of hokem based crap that is clothed in the guise of 'New Medicine' therapy of mRna technology. This is quite a change from the past. So much of a change that forcing people to take these new forms of vaccines is mass testing. And given that it runs counter to the Geneva conventions, and is in a different league and open to legal repercussions our fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers would have hung people for. (A lot of readers don't really know what that means, but then they don't know much more than how to navigate to this page, and doing so have a hard time understanding the intricacies of written language, in any case. ) To return to the original question: Shingles is a herpes type infection that lies dormant in the body and resurfaces after many decades. I've seen hospice patients driven near insane by its nerve ending destruction effects. You break out with a Shingles infection and you can not get an effective vaccine dose, ever. Beware of this hitchhiker. It is straight out of Hell's Book of Bad Jokes.
