I was sweating the Shingles shots (it's 2 shots, 2 months apart), because I didn't want to get shingles, and kick myself the entire time for procrastinating. When I walked out after the second shot, knowing I was protected, I actually felt good.

Now it's helping against dementia, too? Awesome.

I can't get it because I'm too old now.

Weird, all information about the shingles vaccine I've seen just says 50 or older.

In Canada, if you're over 50, it's apparently free-to-you with your continuing yearly subscription to our government as a bundle.
