If you're of a certain age, GET THE SHINGLES VACCINE!

@RationalLeft So I assume I shan't be speaking to you over the weekend.
@LiberalLibrarian My reaction to the first dose was substantial, but not horrible.
@LiberalLibrarian I'm slightly younger than a certain age but gonna get one next month anyway because my last outbreak was uncomfortably close to my eyeball
@CarrieLikesCoffee Ack! Yes, go get one. Will your insurance cover it, or will you have to pay out of pocket?
@LiberalLibrarian Supposedly they'll pay for it. They may ask for a reason why I'm getting one "early" but I was told that as long as I get it through the pharmacy, it's covered.
One of the few advantages to working for a large health system with their own pharmacy, I guess.
I can’t recall if this is a yearly vaccine or a one-and-done shot. I know I’ve had the vaccine, 2 or 3 years ago I think
@see_the_sus It is a two-and-done shot. I don't think you get boosters.
Thanks! I'll need to check my records cause I can't remember if I ever got a 2nd shot.
@LiberalLibrarian Funny, my second dose is scheduled for Friday.
