Aunty Kay: 

I believe in making sure you don't get things that affect you badly. 

I had it on my legs, which gave me a taste of it. And I never want it again. 

So I make sure that I talk about it and let people know there's something they can do. It’s up to them.

The good news is there's a safe and effective shingles vaccine for all us mob 50 years or older. It's free.

Shield yourself from shingles.
