Over 70? That's a bugger! I'll have words with my doctor on that!
Cheers,

Is that not called being a teenager?

Not in Germany. I have got my first one last month and will get the 2nd one at the end of this month. And I am 61.

Here in Canada, it is called Shingrix.
It is highly recommended.
Shingles pain is terrible.

Opinions seem to vary by country: Here, vaccination is available and possible for people over 60, recommended and available for people over 50 with medical conditions.

Canada is a pretty civilised country. I was supposed to be doing a tour/cruise (yuk) just as the pandemic struck and it was all cancelled.
MrsD is already looking at another trip over your way for our 25th anniversary. I'd prefer a cake than travel myself, but overruled.
Cheers,
Norm.
