HEALTH  ADVISORY:   SHINGLES

If you are over 50 and have gotten chicken pox sometime in your life, you should get vaccinated for shingles.  Shingles is a very painful skin disease that results from when residual chicken pox virus in the body invades nerve cells.  Anyone who ever has had shingles will tell you that vaccination for shingles is worth the money.  If you have any questions, contact your doctor.
