[quote=Anonymous]I know 6 people who have had it. One was a teenager, three were in their 40s, and two were senior citizens. The three that were in their 40s had long painful recoveries that lasted over a year. If you get it near your eye you can lose eyesight. Get the vaccine if you can, even if you are under 60. Back in December the Washington Post had a good article about shingles. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/better-worry-about-shingles-it-hurts-and-vaccination-may-help/2014/12/08/50ef45fa-66bf-11e4-836c-83bc4f26eb67_story.html [/quote]
