When I turned 60 I gave myself the shingles vaccine for my birthday present to myself since none of the cost was covered by health plans then. $300. But I had the worse double dose of chicken pox as a child so I didn't want to risk shingles. Now I'm told I have to get a booster and you're saying it won't be covered? What was the cost?
