Has everyone had their Shingles vaccine?

I did do my research on the Shingles vaccine—it is over 90% effective against shingles in those 50 years and older.
Efficacy rates were highest for the ages 60-69 at 97.4%, and lowest for ages 70-79, at 91.3%.
So those are good enough odds for me for a one time vaccine!

Good to know. Now I'm wondering if I have some immunity since I did get the old shingles vaccine years ago?? I will have to do some research.
