    I really wish the NIH or CDC would do an ad campaign for “Shingles vax is great if you’re over 50, but shingles can happen to younger people too. Learn to recognize these symptoms of shingles and get treatment right away!”

    Yeah, good luck with that these days. But I did get shingles at 40, got treatment right away and the rash (on my face, associated with the dental -injection nerve) stayed smaller than a quarter and stayed away from my eye.

      I agree. Sadly, we’ll have to look outside our country in the near future for these kind of medical notices. NIH and CDC are being gutted before our eyes.
