Thank you for these links. Is it possible to read the whole articles or just the abstracts?

You usually need subscriptions to read the full articles. If you bring the citations to your local library, they should be able to order copies of the articles for you. Or, if you live near a medical school, their library will have copies of everything.

True, but you don't hear about scores of pregnant women getting shingles, kwim?

OP, I forgot to answer your original question. The shingles vax is not very effective and is still being studied since it is so new. I believe the last time I read up on it, it was only like 50% effective.
