Wow.

 

Great heading - a vaccine that can prevent death!

 

Here I was thinking that life is terminal, it has its alpha and omega, now there can be no omega.

 

Brilliant.

Crikey, I didn't know it was that expensive. A lucrative business indeed.

If you're covered by standard Medicare in the U.S., the shingles vaccine is free there.

 

Sounds like the  same in the UK:

Shingles vaccine

A shingles vaccine is available on the NHS for:

• people who turned 65 on or after 1 September 2023
• people aged 70 to 79 who have not yet been vaccinated
• people aged 18 and over with a severely weakened immune system

The vaccine helps reduce your risk of getting shingles.

If turned 65 on 01/09/23 you will now be 67, so eligible for vax. So what's this about 70 to 79?
