re: #398 lawhawk

If you’ve got a weakened immune system you could get it again. It’s uncommon.

Far more common is if you had chicken pox and then get shingles.

Depending on your age, I’d suggest getting either the chicken pox or shingles vaccine. Talk to a doc about what’s right for you (am I starting to sound like a drug ad? and the fine print warnings?)

I took the shingles vaccine several years ago and got shingles 2 months later :-( . I don’t know if the formulation has improved since then. You don’t die from shingles but you are made miserable.
