I have literally never heard of someone under 60 getting shingles. What’s up with that? Should we all be getting our shingles vaccines?

I have a friend who got it in high school. It seems like it really sucked

You may not know that many people in their 40s and 50s then.

It happens, but it’s a numbers game like a lot of things in preventative health. Just get your shots when they recommend. I think the guidelines still say to start at 50. Me and a friend were in no hurry and both had outbreaks at 51.
