  • I’m in Canada. My doughter got the meningococcal vaccine on her way to university but we had to pay for it. We then paid for it for our son who is in highschool. I got the RSV vaccine last year because I was receiving chemo. We can get the pneumococcal if we are immunecompromised or over…65?

    I don’t think that they can prevent the shingles once you’ve had chickenpox. There is a drug on the market, famciclovir, that is extremely effective at treating shingles if you get it within 72 hours of the onset of symptoms. I had shingles in my 30s and got famvir and had a really easy ride.
