Hi @hopeful33250, @grandmar, @lioness and everyone else. My doctor told me about the new shingles vaccine earlier this year. I had the old one a few years ago but he recommended getting the new one also which is a two shot series like you mentioned. I found out I could get it at my local Sam's Club Pharmacy and that's where I found out it wasn't covered by Medicare or my Minnesota UCare plan. I'm still on the fence on getting the shot but I know how painful shingles is from relatives and friends so I will probably get it this year. Here's some info that may be helpful:

What are my options for the shingles vaccine? If I've already had shingles, should I get the vaccine so that I don't get shingles again?
