Ten years ago I got the shingles vaccination. That shot was 50 percent effective. Not that great but a lot better than nothing.
I decided to get the new vaccine the other day. I found out I could get it at the local grocery store, Ingles. No prescription needed, no appointment. I went down and got the shot, it cost $176. This new vaccine is 94 percent effective. I have to go back in January and get the follow up shot.

That was wise. If you ask anyone who has suffered with shingles, they'd tell you they'd have eagerly paid several times that to be cured.

Be prepared for a sore arm for a few days.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I am still waiting to die from the plague. You don't have shingles now, but if you ever get it, you'll wish you had gotten the shots. Shingles is a Mofo. I never want to deal with that ever again. Had my shots about 2 years ago and didn't cost me a dime. Covered under my insurance with no side effects.

My wife got shingles over a year ago, the rash went away after about four weeks but the pain is still with her. Some days the pain is intense most days it's not awful, but it's always there. Apparently, nerves have been damaged permanently. The doctors say there's nothing more they can do. You'd better believe I got my shots.

I am still waiting to die from the plague. Good joke. All things being equal, one in three Americans will get shingles. Your chances head towards zero percent if you get this shot. If your one-in-three chance comes up bad for you, the joke will be on you.
