I’ve wondered why it hadn’t been on the NHS, their calculations for what is worth covering aren’t always clear to me. Covering it being cheaper than all the parents missing work to care for sick kids is an, interesting?, choice, but I’m glad they’re doing it.

Yeah, plus the potential cost of needing care for shingles later in life, or if it's passed to an adult who hasn't had it; and sometimes a bad case can do serious damage, even in kids. Not usually, but it happens.
