Well, obviously we were very impressed in this VA cooperative study by how effective it was and how well tolerated it was.

When you had chicken pox, the virus didn't go away. It went up and went to sleep in the nerve cells that allow you to feel in your skin.

I would give it to all of my friends and patients who are 60 years of age or over and haven't yet had shingles.

There's a great deal more virus in the shingles vaccine that in the children's vaccine, and that's because children are not immune at all.
