If your a vet, the VA pesters you until you give in. Call your local VA clinic or hospital to get one. No matter what your priority is, they are free I believe.

Had one not to long ago and not sure how long they last but I know those shingles aren't fun.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Doctor gave me a prescription for Acyclovir an antiviral that shortens the term of the shingles and lessens chance of complications.
100 capsules to take in 5 days! Yes that is 4 pills 5 times a day. The area affected is on my lower left back and it feels like somebody
hit you with a board and same pain around left side of stomach area. Of course I also have the prickly pain from rash area that comes and goes.

I was going to get the newest vaccination back last Fall but they were out of stock at several locations. Will get it when this heals up per Doc's
orders.
Meanwhile I took Buster to the vet and he got a shot to ease his gut problems and a couple pills he needs to have.
Got him to eat a small bit of chicken and rice.
His pills are on one side of table and mine on the other....hope I don't mix them up!
We a couple of sick pups!!

Thanks for all of your concerns and wishes!

.
Wife and I finally got to the pharmacy in time to get the first Shingrix vaccine today. Been trying for over a year. We call and they have it, we get there and they are out (no waiting list - first come first served). The pharmacy had gotten their allocation of 6 vaccines yesterday. So we were fortunate they still had it today. Medicare did not fully cover. I guess we hadn't yet fully met our Part D deductibles. Her copay was about $42 and mine was about $168.

I got my second dose at the local clinic a few months ago, I was on the waiting list and it still took almost 6 months to get the second dose.
