Wait? I can get vaccinated for shingles after having chicken pox? Is that a thing?

    Yeah, but insurance won't cover it until like age 50.

    Where I am, they won't give you the vaccine until 50, unless there are good reasons for it.

    Having shingles at 37 wasn't a good enough reason, and now (over 50) I have to argue with my GP that I am since I am immune compromised don't want it a second time.
