Had the shot last October. The MD billed $240.00 for shingles shot. Medicare did not cover it at all. My insurance paid $112.00 as the contract amount. I paid zero.
No shingles yet.

One thing it states is "In adults vaccinated at age 60 years or older, vaccine efficacy wanes within the first 5 years after vaccination, and protection beyond 5 years is uncertain;" there is more but I want you to go to the site and read the whole article.
