    My local pharmacy in Nj is advertising in signs that they have the shingles vaccine.  They give the shot there and have a pharma or nurse that gives it.  I had my flu shot there and they had no problem using my good arm!  By the way, i have a lovely little bracelet with the warning about lympho that I wear all the time.  Suggest you get one, cheap protection

    also, my brother is battling hodgkins desease and he takes the vacine on an ongoing basis as his immune system basically stinks and he gets shingles repeatedly

    Actually it 'd be quite an interesting statistic to see how many BC people who have had other things such as Shingles. Well....when all is said and done, at least youre still alive with them, but thats about all. Undecided
