You shouldn’t have to wait several months for an appt, that’s crazy. See your family doc or another specialist. My dad got shingles and he still has pain, several months later. Every single person over 60 needs the vaccine, it is a terrible, painfu,l longlasting problem. Your doctors should be asking if you had the vaccine if you are over age 60. I think you also need to get it even if you have had shingles. Apparently they don’t like to just hand out the vaccine, because it is an expensive one, but so what? If you can avoid that pain, do so!
