CDC recommends new shingles vaccine for people over 50 - UPI.com:

Shingrix is 97 percent effective in preventing shingles in people 50 to 69 years old, and 91 percent effective in those 70 and older, according to a briefing provided to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices prior to its decision Wednesday.
