I saw something on WebMD the other day that said you should get one when you're 50. I'll be 59 this month, and no one has ever mentioned that I should get one. I thought I would ask my doctor about it at my next check up. I remember when my grandmother had shingles. It was just awful.

I was desperately ill with shingles two years ago. They wanted me to get a shot after it all cleared up, but I have two relatives who have had shots and still got shingles again and again. I'm not sure I will ever get the shot. But ask the doctor what he or she suggests and take their advice. I'm just old and hard headed.

You may need to contact your insurance plan because some companies will cover the cost at a later age than 50. You will need to ask when the shingles vaccine is covered by the insurance company and if its not covered at say age 50 and you want it sooner than the age the insurance company covers, you may have to cover the cost yourself with out of pocket expenses.

Your doctor can review your situation with you and give you the best advice.

I ask my doctor earlier this year and she told me that I was not old enough for it yet. I am going to be 48 in a few months by the way.
