Any idea why they dont allow shingles vaccine in USA before 50?

I asked for it and they said your not old enough. Im like who gives an f. I dont want shingles.

Because if it's recommended by the CDC insurance companies are obligated to pay for it and they don't want to.

You start being at increased risk for shingles in your 40s btw.
