As an immunizing pharmacist I do often see people come in on Friday to get a vaccine, anticipating a needed recovery day on Saturday. HOWEVER, there are people who work Saturdays or need to be at their best on the weekend. Now I recommend to get it when you are able to take the next day as a rest day, regardless of the day of the week.

No mention if non vaccinated group with higher cardio/dementia incidents, had these only after a shingles event, or not?

A vaccine that protects not only against shingles, but also dementia and heart disease? I'm glad I took it a few years ago even though I'm not that old.
