Why do we not hear much about shingles if it is so common?

Shingles: Chicken pox is common when young, but the same virus stays dormant for years in the nerve, and when it breaks out, due to age, stress or decreased immune function, it causes severe pain, blisters, and sometimes scarring. The new "shingles" immunization increases a persons ability to keep the virus from breaking out.

More and more : Now that we have a vaccine and better tx options , we are hearing more about it.
