From Milton Peek
Your article on chickenpox and shingles was a surprise (4 May, p 7).
Perhaps my dermatologist is unusually well trained and up to date, but I had a chickenpox revaccination several years ago (I’m male, now aged 74) specifically to minimise the chance of developing shingles. I find it a little hard to believe that British dermatologists aren’t well aware of that treatment.
