    July 2, 2017 - Q. I keep seeing scary TV commercials about shingles, urging people to get the vaccine. Should I?

    Actually, I’d suggest that’s relatively cheap in the wider context of medication costs, especially given it’s a one-off that is only suited to a limited proportion of the population that isn’t going to increase in the future.

    In my case I've already gotten it. Working at a hospital, they tend to want to make sure that you're protected from anything that might walk through the doors.
