My wife and I had planned to get the shingles vaccine last summer, and decided to put it off until after we got back from a vacation in July. Shortly after returning from vacation, my wife got shingles and was in severe pain for weeks. I immediately got the first shot and then the second two months later. Other than a very minor sore arm I had absolutely no reaction at all. After recovering, my wife went down and got the two shots (2 months apart). The lesson here is that it is better to get the vaccine than to put it off and risk getting shingles, which is much much more painful.
