I have to find out if I need it. I never had chicken pox (well I did as a baby but didn't get immunity) so I had the chicken pox shots as an adult. My understanding from the internet is that I will need Shingrex but I've seen it both ways. I think they aren't completely sure yet because there aren't a lot of adults at that age who had the chicken pox vaccine.
I've seen a lot of shingles during my time working in nursing homes and also my sister and brother have both had it (my sister twice). So I'll happily get the shots to avoid it if I need them.
