Two shots are required? I had one but wasn't told about a second (?).

KP this year to Anthem (BCBS of GA) for next year
KP went waaaaaaay up for next year, and Anthem was actually less than Ambetter or KP. I was very surprised.
The world is a crazy place if you have to buy your own health insurance.

Yep, after getting 80K new members last year when BC/BS dropped out of the ACA, we are expecting to have flat membership growth next year. Of course, "flat" is actually about 40K leaving and a 40K gain of new members. It's crazy. I have a handful of former BC/BS patients who I really hope go back to their old doctors.

There's a newer vaccine and some recommend getting another one every ten years or so just to be safe.
It's not an exact science.
The earlier vaccine you could still get shingles. The odds are slim but not none.
I know.

My Dr. mentioned yesterday that the old single dose shingles vaccine was around 40-50% effective, quite a bit worse than slim, I'm sorry you got them.
I had shingles earlier this year but somehow it was only itchy, no pain. Strange but I'll take it. I'll get the newer 2-dose vaccine in a couple of years when my insurance starts covering it.
