Shingles Vaccination Anyone?

This posting is a very personal note to all of our friends and business associates. A member of our team recently had a close family member that came down with shingles and was extremely indisposed. Shingles is of the same virus family as chicken pox; it is not contagious to anyone who has already had chicken pox; however anyone who has not had them should stay away from anyone suffering from shingles, as they could contract chicken pox. This disease is extremely painful and the reason for this posting is that you can be immunized against shingles. Not all health insurance covers the vaccine, but after witnessing how horrible the symptoms can be, believe me it is well worth the money!

Check with your family doctor and please consider this vaccine; people have shared horror stories about shingles outbreaks with us since we have been communicating our experience. So educate and protect yourself against this nasty illness!
