73. A Very Special Episode: My Parents on Shingles, Resilience, and Health in Their 80s

In this very special and personal episode of Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo, I’m joined by my parents, Claire and Frank Grelo, to talk about something I never expected to experience so close to home: shingles. Before this experience, and like many people in their 50s, I didn’t know much about shingles or realize how common it is among adults who’ve had chickenpox. Did you know that adults who’ve had chickenpox have a 1 in 3 chance of developing it?1 I didn't.

In this episode, in partnership with GSK, we talk candidly about what shingles was like from my father’s perspective, how it impacted our family, and the lessons we learned about listening to your body, supporting loved ones, and staying informed about your health. This episode is a reminder that our health evolves over time, and how important it is to speak to your healthcare provider about proactive steps you can take to help protect your health.

SHINGRIX is a vaccine that helps protect adults against shingles (herpes zoster). 100% protection not guaranteed. Adverse reactions may occur. SHINGRIX does not prevent chickenpox or treat shingles or its complications. Ask your healthcare professional if SHINGRIX is right for you. Learn more at SHINGRIX.ca. To report an adverse event, please call 1-800-387-7374
