Having seen on a recent edition of 'Gone Fishing with Mortimer & Whitehouse' just how badly Bob was affected by a dose of shingles, when I was offered the vaccination I readily agreed. The absolutely charming nurse gave me the jab at the end of my annual diabetes review: I'm delighted to say that she was positive, upbeat and supportive, congratulating me on how well I was controlling the condition with diet, exercise (and metformin!)
Incidentally: there is some evidence that the shingles vaccine imparts a degree of protection against dementia: another good reason to book a jab now!
