Who should get a shingles vaccine?

You should get the shingles vaccine if you are at high risk for getting it or if you are experiencing symptoms. It is recommended that individuals 60 and older get the shingles vaccine, as this is when the risk of contraction is high. Even if you have previously contracted shingles, you should get the vaccine to prevent or mitigate future cases. The shingles vaccine is not recommended by the CDC for anyone younger than 60 because it has not yet been thoroughly studied in those age groups.

The staff and doctors are amazing. Dr. Fred Keys took the time to discuss all my symptoms and point me in the right direction. After being sick so long...I greatly appreciate a doctor that thinks outside of the box and truly cares about his patients. Thank you for directing me towards finding the true root cause. I will be transferring my primary care to him. I highly recommend Dr. Fred Keys and the staff here at Ascent Urgent Care.
