Nothing wrong with getting it at 50+ except could be insurance reimbursement issues??? It's still about $200 if paying cash.
Thanks for the correction Jan, I was not sure about what the exact wording is/was. Here the shots are $250.00 at almost every place you can get them. Monica and I are getting the shot anyway, with all of my health problems I don't need anything else.
My grandfather and father didn't have long, healthy lives, both died young. I'll hedge my bets and not have anymore "fun" than I have already had. Glad it is working for others, it is strictly a personal decision as it should be.
