Shingles killed my 88 year old Dad. He was a bull of a man, until he came down with shingles. He had chronic lymphatic leukemia (it was always a minor health issue for him), however, it prevented him from getting Zostavax as it was contraindicated with the leukemia. Two months after he got shingles, the new vaccine came out, but it was too late for him. Every older member of my family has had it and described it as the worst pain they’ve ever experienced.
