    Boots PHARMACY are offering Shingles Vaccine €200 in store. I'm very tempted to get it, as I have seen people get the shingles and the damage they do.
    Vaccine is supposed to offer immunity from shingles for seven years.
    Anyone here had any experience of it

    My folks both got it a couple of years back, it's well worth getting. You sound like you know that yourself. It's very popular in North America.
    They got the boots one, which at the time was Zostavox, but a far better vaccine has been approved for Europe since then. It's called Shingrix.
    So, I'd enquire and make sure it's Shingrix that you're getting. In fact, I must see have they gone to get Shingrix because it's advised to get it even if you've had Zostavox.
    Hope that is of some help in making your mind up.
