    Specifically, vaccination for herpes zoster. I will be trying to get my parents vaccinated for that. Dunno if they already are… Is it a “mandatory/suggested” vaccine in the EU? I need to check.

      That is a relatively new vaccine. In the US, that’s part of what you get as a kid now (not going to fact check the current guidance cause im afraid to look), but if you’re old enough to have actually gotten chickenpox, you likely havent gotten the vaccine unless you asked for it.

      In my experience in the US, it seems like Dr’s dont really keep up with recommendations once you are over 18.
