  Luckily, I can afford $999 to avoid experiencing Shingles.

  Your average HN reader can absolutely afford paying a few hundred bucks to avoid getting a potentially life-changing disease, and should. I know multiple young adults who got messed up by shingles.

  You can get it in the UK, unsubsidised from a profit driven private company, for a mid-three figure amount. https://www.boots.com/online/pharmacy-services/shingles-vaccination-service https://www.boots.com/online/pharmacy-services/shingles-vacc... > Price per dose:£230 > Full course (2 doses):£460

  Medium 3-figure at most. $400-600 for the full two-dose series.

    Worth it.

      I think my insurance covered it, even though I was 33. But yes, I would have happily paid $400-600.
