Why alarm or worry people here unnecessarily? The topic of this thread was cold sores, not shingles. If you are going to bring up shingles, I would think you would know, as a nurse, that there is now a one-time vaccination against herpes zoster (shingles) available for people age 60 and over. No-one needs to suffer through a painful bout of shingles now, and it should not be brought up as another thing to fear about aging.
