My husband asked his GP for his opinion about getting the shingles vaccine. GP said that anyone with a good immune system probably doesn't need to bother unless struck by an illness that lowers immunity. This was taking into consideration the cost. Given that neither of us has had even a cold since 2008 I don't think we'll get it. (The reason I am sure about the year is that my last cold was when I was travelling in Spain and very tired. I also remember buying a wonderful cold remedy called "Vincigrip" which was bursting with pseudoephedrine and perked me up enormously.)
