Re: Any of you older folks gotten your shingles shot(s)?

I got one in July, 2015 but the injection I got, Zostavax, was taken off the market in the U.S. in November 2020. Per the CDC, if you had Zostavax in the past, you should still get the Shingrix shot. Hmmmmm. Had you not asked the question, I wouldn't have looked it up to find out I'm not really covered when here I thought I was. Guess I'll be getting the shingrix shot.
