There was an answer on the test I knew was the answer but I thought maybe they were trying to "trick" us, like of course you'd pick that one because there were two other similar ones of old school tactics/common beliefs, so I thought it went with those 2 and must be the one that was different from those 3. So I crossed it out and changed my answer. Just found that section in the book and I was right the first time! Gahhh!! :barnie

Always go with your first answer unless you read the question wrong.

Hey @ronott1 Here and Now is talking about the new shingles vaccine (Shingrix) coming out. And yes they are saying even if you got the old one (which I did last year) you should get the new one because the old one is only 70% effective and the older you are the less effective it is.

Thanks! I have a note to myself to get the Shingrix inoculation.

Hopefully soon

I've been seriously thinking about getting that. I had a really severe case of chicken pox as a kid, so I'm thinking I'm very likely to get shingles, and knowing my luck they'd also be very severe.

Insurance companies will only pay for it if you are over a certain age.

Take it from one who has had shingles:
You DO NOT WANT TO GET SHINGLES!!!! (except on your roof)

New vaccine is suggested for those 50 and older. The last one was 60 and older. I had shingles at 55. Right up there on the pain scale with kidney stones. Kill me, now, PLEASE.
Shingles can run down any nerve, some people get it in their throat! I can't imagine. With mine the pain shot around my back, down to my thigh and went around to the quad then down to my ankle. It wasn't constant but during some "events" it felt like someone drove a kitchen knife in my quad and twisted it back and forth.

So, if you are 50 or over and had chicken pox as a kid, I suggest you get the new vaccine.

I normally do because I learned that too that normally your gut is right and using that, I convinced myself NOT to change a couple other answers, but for some reason, I managed to convince myself that this one was wrong when it wasn't. :/

I think I overthink things haha
