It's too bad it's going to take so long to find out the effect of this vaccine on herpes zoster when folks hit middle age.

Japan has been using this vaccine for quite awhile. Zosters has not been a problem. The FDA studied data from Japan before they OKed the vaccine here.

You mean the same FDA that promotes Zolof that the Brits have "dissed"?

Could you be a little more specific? I think this country will still have to wait at least four more decades before it has anything more than anecdotal reports.
