[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question that my doctor could not answer: I had shingles in my 30s. Does that mean I'm immune to shingles? My doctor told me to get the vaccine anyway, but that makes no sense to me. Shingles was extremely painful! It's caused by a reactivation (?) of the virus that causes chicken pox. I don't understand how the shingles vaccine works or why I would need it if I've had shingles. Can anyone explain? My doctor couldn't. She just said "get it," but I'd like a better explanation than that. [/quote] I am 44 and have shingles now. When I saw my nurse practitioner this week, she told me that she has had shingles twice.
