To @Jola:
As a pharmacist, I can only give you general information. In general, shingles vaccinations are usually recommended for people who have had shingles in the past, even if they have already had it. However, before you decide to get vaccinated against shingles (herpes zoster), you should consult your doctor about it.
People in their 75s may be particularly susceptible to complications from shingles, so it's worth discussing the fact that you've had it before with your doctor. If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

No, the Shingrix vaccine is fully paid for everyone, the price is quite high, because it is about 800-900 PLN: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97803/shingrix-iniekcja/apteki GdziePoLek allows you to book prescription drugs such as Shingrix, while the collection must take place stationary.
