Uncle Rod: 

I hadn't heard about the free vaccine for shingles once you turn 50. I wish I did. I wish I knew what it was, because I would tell anyone out there.

You don't want shingles. It drives you crazy, mentally. And knowing that there is a vaccine out there to help not get it, I would say to anyone, any of you mob out there, go get your vaccine for shingles once you turn 50.

Trust me. It'll save your sanity.

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. 

Yarn with your health professional about the free vaccine today.
