Steve, I have a question for Dr Most. I'm 59. I was covid vaccinated Feb/Mar. I was told I had to wait now for the shingles vax. Two weeks before my June Dr appointment for checkup, flu shot and shingles vax, I got shingles. I know people who have had shingles multiple times. Do I still get the shingles vaccination, my Dr says its unnecessary. what's Dr Mosts opinion?
