Go get one. I never had a flu shot in my life until last month. Figured I am getting older and damn sure don't need a nasty assed flu like I had 2 years ago. Almost killed me. And I was lucky when I got the shingles the first time cuz it wasn't too bad. I don't want a second time, though. Your local pharmacy can give it to you just like the docs office will. If you are on medicare like Mr. Gracie, it cost him 3 bucks for the shingles shot.I never heard of a shot for it until very recently. Didn't know what shingles was until a few years ago and it was the most painful thing I ever went through, like a spear in my body. After the first prescription ran out I started eating Ibuprofen like candy. I'm leery of preventative shots, never took the flu one but I would have taken the shingles shot knowing what I know now.
