Do get the Shingles vaccine, please

32. shingle vaccine

I got my first shingle vaccine shot when I was 60. When I was 76, I got the shingle vaccine again. First vaccine was one shot and second was two. I can't understand why Feinstein never got her shingles vaccine. It's nuts to not get it. It's free just like flu, pneumonia, Covid and whooping cough vaccine shots are. Doctors advise those over 60 to get the whooping shot since there are more people getting whooping cough these days.
My doctor keeps track of what I need and what tests I get.

PS Women over 65 must also keep getting their PAP and MAMMO yearly. My sisters doctor told her that women over 65 don't need to keep having a PAP yearly and she believed him.
Then in 2019 she found a lump and went in to get a PAP exam. She found out she had state 4 cervical cancer and she died in 2021. Had she been given good advice about getting her yearly exams, she'd still be alive. My doctor (a female) also told me she didn't recommend me continuing to have a yearly PAP. I told her about my sister, and she said she still didn't advise the yearly test. Needless to say, I ignored her and continue to get my PAP every single year.
I don't think doctors really care about older women being healthy.
