You'll > have to parse the above for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalitis Encephalitis is a sudden onset inflammation of the brain. It can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. The chickenpox virus isn't listed as one of the common causes, but shingles encephalitis is known and shows up in the statistics. http://www.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/encephalitis/print.html Krw needs that kind of parsing more often than most. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

She had chicken pox as a child, then VZV ecephalitis as an adult. So yes, because she had chickenpox she had ecephalitis. With the two events separated by many decades. -- John Devereux

Sure, I meant that is would be called "shingles" rather than "chicken pox" since it was not a new infection. It is all the same virus of course. -- John Devereux

My insurance plan covers (and provided) both shingles and pneumonia vaccines. As an emergency responder, I've had the hepB series and meningitis. I think they're a good idea, particularly shingles, pneumonia, meningitis. I also get flu shots every year. If you're not sure, google "herd immunity." You can either trust others to do the right thing, or protect yourself. Your decision.

Mostly that's because there isn't much point in taking it until you are old. Also, it only lasts for around 5 years. But then it is *less* effective as you get past 60. I don't see any mention that it can be given again. So maybe you only get one shot at 50% protection, so target it at the years when it will do the most good. > I've not read the recommendation to see why HepB and Meningitis. > Or, if even applicable to my population. *Your* population? Everyone is at risk to meningitis. >> I think they're a good idea, particularly shingles, pneumonia, >> meningitis. I also get flu shots every year. > > Ditto.

Herd immunity doesn't apply to shingles. -- Rick C

Shingles is nasty even in normal cases. My wife recently had a patient with ocular shingles - he's hoping to regain vision in that eye, but so far he's lost visual acuity.
