Shingles vaccine is a good idea if you are in the right age cohort. It has a good chance of preventing quite unpleasant attacks and protecting us from lasting damage (and from dementia. How cool is that?). However shingles is not caused by the measles virus but the chicken pox one. It rears its ugly head from its hiding place in our nerves. It's a nasty trick that herpes viruses have.
