    I got it earlier, because of immuno suppressing medication I’m taking, also my brother got shingles in his 30s and as far as I know he doesn’t have problems (at least diagnosed) with immune system or takes such medication. That kind of scared me to ask doctor about it.

    I couldn’t find exactly why it is approved 50+ except that’s what FDA tested it for and that shingles is more common (but it doesn’t mean you can’t get it earlier) after that age.

    From my own experience shingles vaccine side effects are worst from all the vaccine I had so far. My side effect was that after second dose I had problem with keeping balance for 3 days or so, which scared the shit of me.

      yea i heard people got a really bad immune reaciton from the vaccine when they get it younger than what fda reccommended, basically it caused damaged near his testes.(funny thing is both the actual infection, chickenpox, measles mmr can do the same thing)
