Shingles is a terrible experience at 38, but wait until he's around 50+. That is life changing pain.
So sorry you had to go through that. Side effects of the vaccine are pretty much always preferred Vs the actual illness.
My friends father was the kind who declined vaccines but begged the doctor for medications when he got shingles. He eventually got the vaccine but described the pain as someone holding a hot iron against your face...for months.
