The old one was 51% effective. The new one is 90%effective.

Answer to the not having chickenpox question:

Q: I Never Had Chickenpox. That Means I’m Not at Risk of Shingles and Don’t Need to Be Vaccinated, Right?
Sorry, but you should still get vaccinated. According to the CDC, more than 99 percent of people over 40 have had chickenpox, so you probably had it at some point even if you don’t remember it.

Hope he perks up soon, I was sick over 2 weeks around Christmas, took 2 rounds of antibiotics and a really big needled shot to recover.



You cannot get chicken pox from one with shingles - just make sure the one with the outbreak has those areas covered. I'm worried our young folks will eventually get chicken pox when they are too old to handle it...like the past problem we had with inadequate/incorrect timing of the measles vaccine :barnie


ON a brighter note, a neighbor won the best Christmas Decorations in our state. (don't know them, just live really close by). But did do a drive thru to see the lights this year. We could hear their music every night from Thanksgiving til after Dec 25th :)

I have never had chicken pox and I’ve heard you can get them if your exposed to someone with shingles. One of the people I clean for had weeping shingles the other day and out the door I went...there was no going in the next room to avoid the cooties:barnie

Yes you can get chicken pox from someone with shingles but you have to be in contact with the weeping pus stuff, just stay clear.

The only thing I know about shingles is that people say they are very painful. Look after yourself!

I will attest to this fact. Worst pain in my life including kidneys stones that landed me in the ER.

All of us in that age group(over 35) are supposed to get the new vaccine.

They don't usually give it to people under 60. Of course I had shingles when I was < 55.

False, see above. You can't get SHINGLES from someone with shingles. But yes keeping the oozing areas covered. And see a doctor, they gave me gabapentin.

The new shingles vaccine starts at 50. I hope I make it until it is out!

I do not want shingles!
