My grandmother suffered with shingles for 20 years. The pain never went away. It attacks the nerves.I'm a little angry ... No, I'm pissed. My area, Midland County, Michigan has only received a TOTAL of 2235 doses of the vaccine thus far. I'm in multiple high-risk groups and would sure like to get vaccinated. I'll gladly accept the pain. It can't be any worse than the Shingles (which I went through a few months ago).
