I'm as neglectful in going to the doctor as anyone, haven't been in 10 years. But having seen several family members suffer with shingles I booked appointments at Walgreens to get the vaccine. Cost $300 or so for 2 doses IIRC. But without seeing how crappy shingles is I probably wouldn't have been motivated.
