chickenpox. but once you get chickenpox and number really goes away, it stays in your new year's. and as you get older or if you get compromised immune system, it can come back out. i'm not coming is watching events and goes away. the russia, it is. but the reason why we think it's so important is because people can be left with debilitating new being that can last the years after. >> and what does it do to typical person who get shingles? what happens to their body? >> once a person gets shingles, which is again the same virus that causes chicken pox in the same person in childhood. it comes back on maybe a joe stress you notice a pins and needles like a tingling. and then you get a rise in. the rush is very u.s. specific distribution. almost like you're wearing a depending on where you are on the flank and the rash looks

debilitating pain that can linger for months or years after. >> people might know shingles by watching tv here. commercials for the vaccine. what you know about the vaccine who should get it at what age. >> everyone over the age of 50 should get the shingles vaccine. the most common vaccine is called shingrix. >> it's a highly effective vaccine. like in the studies more than 97% of people had benefit. it's a 2 shot series. you get it once and you got it. the second one in about 6 months you know, not very well tolerated in general, and it's not a live vaccine. so it's safe. even of people with compromised immune systems. >> well, the fda they're cracking down on illegal imports of the animal tranquilizer xylazine commonly known as tranq on tuesday. the agency issued an import alert for the drug. it will now suspect shipments to be
