I would happily pay for Shingrix.


Prepare your happy for a very profit-laden high three-figure bill.


You can get it in the UK, unsubsidised from a profit driven private company, for a mid-three figure amount.

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.


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.
