Everything you always wanted to know about Shingles. Someone posted this on a CLL forum & I thought it would be useful for us.

Shingles - In-Depth Report - NY Times Health (http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/herpes-zoster/print.html)

Be Well!!

Just a reminder that those with compromised immune systems should not take the shingles vaccine.

Thanks for the info. I'm currently dealing with my 2nd round with shingles since being on treatment. This time it's my right face. Good news, no rash and not all that painful.

Pete--right - no vaccine for us it's a live virus.
