Good, comprehensive oversight thanks. This part is important advice;

‘Vaccines: There is a vaccine (brand Shingrix) that may help prevent shingles. The National Institutes of Aging recommends adults over 50 get vaccinated with two doses. It is recommended to get this vaccine if you have already had chickenpox, the chickenpox vaccine, if you have a history of shingles, if you have had the prior shingles vaccine, Zostavax, and/or even if you don’t remember having chickenpox. However, getting vaccinated is a personal choice that requires research, and side effects should always be considered.’
