That seems odd to me. Even in the commercials they suggest 50. I got mine the summer I turned fifty. Too many people have gotten it in their early fifties. I didn't wait for someone to talk to me about it. I just told my doctor I wanted it and insurance paid for it. I specifically asked about it when I had my physical this year (turned 50) because DH’s 55 yo friend got shingles last year, and she told me no, not until you hit 60. I'd research it and find someone who can give you the shot if available. I had a stag infection in my each four years ago and I refuse to do anything like that again. My doctor is quite proactive. Not until 60 is an old saying (for people I know).

If 33% of the population gets it, it is common. I'd still check with my insurance and at least ask. Perhaps the more people who ask or complain will change their minds.

Hi ya'll. I've got a rash/some bumps on my upper back. I thought maybe the tag from one of my shirts irritated my skin, then realized this is lower than any tagline in any of my shirts. Had my DH look at it Monday evening and he could not tell what it was. Had him look again last night and he said it is definitely bigger, although it is still relatively small area. (Maybe around a square inch.) Can't say it really hurts, but it does itch. I don't feel ill per se, but I have been feeling more run down lately. Does this warrant a trip to the clinic to rule anything out or should I just wait and see? Did you go to the doctor? Was hoping to see an update from you.
