The shingles vaccine is not recommended by the CDC for anyone younger than 60 because it has not yet been thoroughly studied in those age groups.

I cannot say how grateful I am for the care I received from Doctors Kazanov and Wagner, the assistant as well. They care and do their very best to get you the help you need in a timely manner. I will continue to go there if no appointments are available at my insurance facility. I wish I could go there all the time! Thank you again. Emily J Friend
