Should CLL patients below 50 get a Shingrix vaccine?

Any Shingrix article I found mentions that Shingrix is for people above 50. Some articles say Shingrix is not approved for people below 50.

I'm 42 with CLL and I feel like I should get that vaccine... Maybe I'm wrong?

I received it at the advice of my doctor. The protocol for shingrix is ages 50+ so you will need a referral from the doctor and the insurance may cause issues. I know of a number of us who have gotten through the logistics and had both doses
