Shingles the secondary and subsequent attacks happen later in life can leave people with permanent nerve pain and sometimes damaged eyesight. I am told if you live to 80 and have had chicken pox you have a 50% chance of getting shingles. If the vaccination can prevent chicken pox and thus shingles I would have thought it was well worth having for the shingles aspect alone. Maybe you will need to wait till you are in an age group where you see all your friends coming down with shingles to appreciate this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519234397783312626.post-87707478383389825302010-11-06T00:11:57.665-04:002010-11-06T00:11:57.665-04:00Thank you for this article....your honesty, and ab...Thank you for this article....your honesty, and ability to research, and articulate are much appreciated!
