If you've had chicken pox you should get the shingles vaccine.
I think that's what you are asking.
they only approve it for 50yo though, you will face resistance if you tried to ge tit younger, plus the side effects for younger than that are less well known. people allegedly have taken the shingrx version under 50, from another platform. they got shingles anyways, or one reported a more severe reaction to it affected the balls of one guy under 50.
It is. Thanks.
