Shingles immunization

Dr didn't tell me about the shingles immunization until I asked him.  I am in my early 70's. Has anyone take the innoculation and did you have any adverse effects? Did your dr. suggest taking the innoculation?

I had a bad reaction to this immunization.  I had a lot of swelling and soreness to my left temple and forehead with head achiness.

How long did the reaction last and are you ok now.  My doctor recommends but I am leery about it.  Thanks for your response re shingles immunization.
