    I wish journalists today could be like this woman. She asks questions in a logical and comprehensive manner. Excellent! She asked all the questions that I would have asked. Great work, Ms. Taylor!

    This is one of the best interviews I have ever watched. Susan Taylor does a magnificent job quizzing Dr. Shaluta about shingles. Thank you both...
  • This was excellent! I have shingles right now, and the only question I had that she didn't ask is, should you still get the vaccine after you've had shingles.... and then the doctor volunteers that, having already had shingles, he's been vaccinated. So there you go, all questions answered. Great video.
