I am a type 1 diabetic. I got shingles back when I was 30. It was a very light case, thankfully. I just got a shingles shot last winter when I turned 60. With all the talk about shingles now I certainly don't want it again! I guess you can say I have a compromised immune system (diabetic) and my doctor didn't hesitate to prescibe this vaccine for me. Please ladies just read these posts for entertainment, any medical decisions about your health should be discussed with your doctor.

 

Thanks for posting this caveat, @ID2.  I know most people won't take the medical advice on anonymous forums as being 100% accurate and applicable to their personal needs, but we all know from experience that a few might do so.   That's never a good idea.
