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 whole experience from front door in, to front door out, was excellent. The doctor was so thorough and his bedside manners so pleasant that I am still impressed. Nurses and receptionist exceptional also. Sick but so very impressed. (This from a retired RN) 🤗. Great job.
