I will have it as soon as I am old enough, but that isn't for a while yet :-D

ah!


now Linda's post makes sense :-D



I think you have to be over either 65 or 70 here also ..................... like the pneumonia jab where you have to be over 65 to get it.

I've never heard of a man with shingles - why does it seem to affect women I wonder?

There is a big poster up in our surgery Tec. If you were 70, 74 or 79 on a certain date, you qualify. I of course am far too young, so didn't read all of it

no thanks Linda .............. I don't drink tea either :-)




There is a real push here to get the shingles vaccine ...................... it came on the market a couple of years ago.


One of our coffee friends is suffering with it at the moment ........ fortunately she hasn't got a super bad attack, because she's still recovering from the chemo treatments she had all through last winter.

Only ordinary tea, full strength or decaf. I hate tea, never drink the stuff
I had my flu jab and pneumonia one last week You need to be 70
here to get the shingles one

as far as I know the shingles vaccination is not generally available here, but I feel it should be.
A vey nasty condition that the Duchess had a few years ago.

SylviaInCanada Report 19 Oct 2014 22:28

I'll be having mine in a couple of weeks



and I do really have to have the shingles vaccination soon ....... the prescription is sitting in the pharmacy, waiting for me to make the appointment with a pharmacist.

The vicar apparently told OH this morning that he's heard the group of us have fun at coffee .............. so he might join us sometime :-)



The church is only a couple of blocks away from the coffee shop



and A is a very personable person .................. same sex marriage, and with an adopted 3 year old son

OH has to go to the dentist tomorrow morning ................. we're hoping the permanent crowns will be stuck on


then he has to go to the doc's at 2 pm, for his flu shot




I'm hoping he'll be back in time for us to go for coffee :-)

SylviaInCanada Report 19 Oct 2014 22:22
